Stabilizing wires for medical device

A delivery system comprising:

• a medical device comprising:
• a device body;
• and
• a plurality of stabilizing wires coupled to the device body, each stabilizing wire having a respective proximal end and distal end and being selectively movable between a first position in which at least a portion of the distal end extends radially outwardly from the device body and a second position in which the distal end is retracted within the device body, each stabilizing wire respectively comprising:
• a proximal portion at least partially defining the proximal end;
• a distal portion at least partially defining the distal end;
• and
• a ramp segment extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the ramp segment comprising a first ramp portion angled relative to the proximal portion and a second ramp portion angled relative to the distal portion, wherein the first and second ramp portions adjoin at a ramp apex spaced radially outwardly from the device body;
• and
• a delivery sheath configured to retain and recapture the medical device during deployment of the medical device to a target site.

A method of recapture of a medical device comprising:

• deploying a medical device at a target site using a delivery sheath, the medical device including a device body and a plurality of stabilizing wires coupled to the device body, each stabilizing wire having a respective proximal end and distal end and being selectively movable between a first position in which at least a portion of the distal end extends radially outwardly from the device body and a second position in which the distal end is retracted within the device body, each stabilizing wire respectively including:
• (i) a proximal portion at least partially defining the proximal end, (ii) a distal portion at least partially defining the distal end, and (iii) a ramp segment extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the ramp segment including first and second ramp portions that are angled relative to the proximal portion and adjoin at a ramp apex;
• and
• recapturing the medical device by:
• advancing a distal end of the delivery sheath against a proximal end of the medical device;
• further advancing the delivery sheath to engage the first portion of the ramp segment of the stabilizing wires with the distal end of the delivery sheath and to transition the stabilizing wires from the first position to the second position;
• and
• retracting the medical device into the delivery sheath.
