Abstract
An implant delivery system includes an implant, such as a wireless sensor, a first sheath, and a second sheath. The sheaths extend from a proximal end of the implant delivery system, and at least said first sheath extends to a distal end of said implant delivery system. The first sheath is positioned at least partially within said second sheath. The implant is connected to an exterior surface of the first sheath and positioned near an end of the second sheath. The first sheath and said second sheath are movable with respect to one another to deploy said implant to a desired location.
Claims17
An implant delivery system comprising:
- an implant including a proximal anchor that extends from a proximal end portion of said implant and a distal anchor that extends from a distal end portion of said implant, said proximal anchor extends opposite from said distal anchor;
- a first sheath and a second sheath each extending from a proximal end of said implant delivery system, wherein at least said first sheath extends to a distal end of said implant delivery system, wherein said first sheath is positioned at least partially within said second sheath;
- one or more wires engage a portion of said proximal anchor and said distal anchor in a collapsed configuration, wherein said one or more wires secure both said proximal anchor and said distal anchor and said one or more wires are configured to be partially retracted to deploy said distal anchor while said proximal anchor remains in the collapsed configuration;
- and
- wherein said implant is connected to an exterior surface of said first sheath and positioned near an end of said second sheath, and wherein said first sheath and said second sheath are movable with respect to one another to deploy said implant to a desired location.
