Modular pre-loaded medical implants and delivery systems

An implant and delivery system adapted to be coupled during a medical procedure that delivers the implant, comprising:

• an implant subassembly including:
• a cartridge and an implant disposed in a collapsed state within the cartridge, the implant having an implant proximal end,
• an implant elongate flexible tubular member with a distal end adjacent the implant proximal end, and
• an implant coupling mechanism including first and second coupling members that extend through the implant flexible tubular member, the first and second coupling members coupled to the implant proximal end in a first state and positioned and configured to release the implant proximal end when in a second state;
• and
• a handle subassembly including:
• a handle comprising an outer housing and a handle actuator,
• a handle elongate tubular member in operable communication with the handle actuator, wherein actuation of the handle actuator causes axial movement of the elongate tubular member,
• the handle elongate tubular member having a lumen sized to receive therein the proximal end of the implant subassembly, the implant flexible tubular member, and the first and second coupling members, and
• the handle further comprising an implant subassembly locking mechanism that is positioned and adapted to lock a proximal end of the implant subassembly within the handle after the implant subassembly is moved proximally through the handle elongate tubular member and into the handle during a medical procedure to implant the implant.
