Claims19
A delivery system for a medical implant, comprising:
- an elongated pusher;
- an implant positioned near a distal end of the elongated pusher;
- a tether connected to the implant and the elongated pusher;
- a first detachment mechanism having a first attached configuration where the implant is releasably secured to the elongated pusher, and having a first detached configuration where the implant is released from the elongated pusher;
- and,
- a second detachment mechanism having a second attached configuration where the implant is releasably secured to the elongated pusher, and having a second detached configuration where the implant is released from the elongated pusher;
- wherein the second detachment mechanism comprises a sharp edge or blade positioned or angled against the tether;
- and,
- wherein the first detachment mechanism and the second detachment mechanism are both positioned on a proximal side of the implant.
