Abstract
A system for delivering a device into a body lumen of a patient, the system including a device having a marker band and a tube at a proximal portion, and a pusher member having a ribbon and a ball or hook at a distal portion of the delivery member and a compression coil positioned over the ribbon, the ball or hook releasably engageable with the tube.
Claims20
A system for delivering a device into a body lumen of a patient, the system comprising:
- a device having a tube at a proximal portion;
- a locking member including an elongated member and a device engaging member at a distal portion of the elongated member, a compression coil positioned over the elongated member to apply a distally directed force on the device, and the engaging member releasably engageable with the tube of the device;
- and
- a marker band, wherein the marker band is positioned on the tube and between the compression coil and the locking member.
A system for delivering a device into a body lumen of a patient, the system comprising:
- a device having a tube at a proximal portion;
- a locking member having an elongated member and an engaging member at a distal portion of the locking member, a coil positioned over the elongated member to apply a distally directed force on the device, the engaging member releasably engageable with the tube;
- a retractable delivery member extending through the coil and through the device to a distal portion of the device;
- and
- a sheath preventing the engaging member from deflecting out an opening in the tube until the engaging member is exposed from the sheath.
A system for delivering a device into a body lumen of a patient, the system comprising:
- a device having a tube, the tube having an opening forming a receiving portion;
- a locking member having an elongated member and an engaging member, the engaging member extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of the elongated member of the locking member, the engaging member releasably engageable with the receiving portion of the tube;
- a coil positioned over the elongated member;
- and
- a retractable delivery member extending through the coil and through the device, the delivery member retractable to provide a gap for blood flow into a lumen of the device,
- wherein a clearance between an outer dimension of the delivery member and an inner dimension of the device is substantially fluid-tight before delivery to a surgical site but sufficient to enable slidable movement of the delivery member with respect to the device.
