<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a handle type deployment mechanism and a deploying method for a medical instrument. <P>SOLUTION: A system for delivering at least one medical instrument to a desired position for treatment and deploying the medical instrument selectively in the position is provided with an improved handle (10). One of the possible features of the handle is that it selectively holds the components of the delivery system at any desired configuration during deployment and positioning of the medical instrument. Another possible feature of the handle is that it has two or more operation modes for deploying the medical instrument selectively at two or more speed. Yet another feature of the handle is that it is provided with a locking mechanism that resists inadvertent or accidental movement or retraction of components of a stent delivery system during packaging, sterilization, shipping, storage, handling and preparation of the stent delivery system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
