Abstract
An intravascular device delivery system includes an elongated member with a distal end cap and a delivery disc that are longitudinally movable using a disc handle. A main body of the disc handle is configured to move the distal end cap and a movable body of the disc handle is configured to move the delivery disc. The movable body is movable relative to the main body, and the main body and movable body are movable together.
Claims25
An intravascular device delivery system for delivery of an intravascular device, the system comprising:
- an intravascular device, and
- an elongated member having a distal end and a proximal end with a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, the elongated member including:
- a coil extending from the proximal end of the elongated member toward the distal end of the elongated member,
- a distal end cap longitudinally fixed to a distal end of the coil and positioned within an intravascular device cover that selectively retains the intravascular device,
- a delivery catheter positioned longitudinally overlapping at least a portion of the coil, and
- a delivery disc longitudinally fixed to the delivery catheter, the delivery disc being proximal to the distal end cap;
- and
- a disc handle configured to move the distal end cap and delivery disc, the disc handle including:
- a main body distal end cap configured to move the distal end cap, and
- a movable body configured to move the delivery disc longitudinally relative to the distal end cap,
- wherein, the distal end cap is disposed on a disc handle side of the intravascular device positioned within the intravascular device cover in a pre-deployed configuration.
An intravascular device delivery system, the system comprising:
- an elongated member having a distal end and a proximal end with a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, the elongated member including,
- an outer sleeve,
- at least one steerable catheter;
- a coil positioned longitudinally overlapping and radially within at least a portion of the outer sleeve,
- a distal end cap longitudinally fixed to the coil with the coil interfacing with the distal end cap from a proximal side of the distal end cap,
- a delivery catheter positioned longitudinally overlapping and radially within at least a portion of the coil, and
- a delivery disc longitudinally fixed to the delivery catheter and positioned within the coil;
- a disc handle configured to move the distal end cap and delivery disc, the disc handle including,
- a main body configured to move the distal end cap longitudinally, and
- a movable body configured to move the delivery disc longitudinally relative to the distal end cap;
- and
- an intravascular device positioned adjacent the distal end cap
- wherein, the distal end cap is disposed on a disc handle side of the intravascular device positioned within an intravascular device cover.
An intravascular device delivery system for delivery of an intravascular device, the system comprising:
- an elongated member having a distal end and a proximal end with a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, the distal end configured to be inserted into a vasculature to deliver the intravascular device, the elongated member including:
- an intravascular device cover having an intravascular device receiving cavity extending from a cover distal end toward a cover proximal end;
- a flexible portion extending proximally from the cover proximal end;
- a sealing member extending over the flexible portion;
- and
- a swivel connection formed at the cover proximal end and a distal flexible portion end, the intravascular device cover and the flexible portion having a relationship in which the flexible portion is configured to swivel in relation to the intravascular device cover,
- wherein the intravascular device cover and the flexible portion are configured to be inserted into the vasculature to deliver the intravascular device.
