A device for delivering a stent into a body lumen has a stent support member for attachment, in use, to the distal end of a delivery member arranged to pass through the body lumen. The member is arranged to support, in use, a stent placed thereon. A sheath covers, in use, the external surface of a stent, the sheath comprising a continuous sheath thread wound, in use, around the exterior surface of the stent so as to form a helix and so as to retain the stent in position on the support member. Sheath removing means allows the sheath thread to unwind freely from the stent upon movement of one end of the thread toward the distal end of the delivery member.
