Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are provided for the delivery of an implant into the prostatic urethra. Embodiments of delivery systems can include a delivery device for insertion into the patient and a proximal control device for use in controlling release of the implant from the delivery device.
Claims21
A system for delivering an implant, the system comprising a delivery device comprising:
- an outer tubular member comprising an imaging device located in a distal end region of the outer tubular member;
- an inner tubular member being within the outer tubular member, wherein the inner tubular member is adapted to house at least a portion of an implant;
- one or more structures slidably advanceable within the inner tubular member to cause deployment of the implant from within the inner tubular member;
- and
- a proximal control device coupled with the inner tubular member and the one or more structures, and releasably coupled with the outer tubular member with a coupling mechanism, wherein the coupling mechanism comprises a deflectable member having a first end that is fixed relative to a second end that is configured to bend,
- wherein the proximal control device is configured to longitudinally move the inner tubular member and the outer tubular member concurrently.
