US 12,521,250 B2 · Medical implant delivery system

Abstract

Implant delivery systems are disclosed. One implant delivery system includes an outer shaft, an inner shaft movable within the outer shaft, a yoke coupled to the distal end of the inner shaft, and an implant retainer pivotably coupled to the yoke. The implant retainer is configured to retain a sheet-like implant for implantation at a treatment site. Another implant delivery system includes a handle, a delivery sheath extending from the handle, and a delivery shaft extending through the delivery sheath to a frame attachable to a sheet-like implant. A tether extends from the frame within the lumen of the delivery shaft. An actuation member is translatable within a channel of the handle to deploy the frame from the delivery sheath. A tether clamp, positioned within the handle, is manipulatable by the actuation member to selectively unlock the tether within the handle.
