Catheter device comprising an overstroke stop mechanism and/or a re-sheathing limit mechanism

A catheter device for implanting a medical implant, comprising:

• a connector for holding the medical implant;
• a capsule configured to cover the medical implant when the medical implant is arranged on the connector and to thereby prevent release of the medical implant from the connector, wherein the capsule is movable in a first direction (P) with respect to the medical implant for deploying the medical implant and for releasing the medical implant from the connector, wherein the capsule is movable in a second direction (D) for re-sheathing the medical implant before it is released from the connector;
• an actuating element configured to move with the capsule and to be manually operated to bring the actuating element from a first state to a second state;
• and one or both of a first stop and second stop, wherein
• the first stop is configured to limit a movement of the actuating element and therewith of the capsule in the second direction (D) when the actuating element is in the first state, so as to prevent pressing of the capsule against a catheter tip of the catheter device and/or against a capsule stop of the catheter device, and is configured to allow movement of the actuating element past the first stop when the actuating element is in the second state, so as to press the capsule against the catheter tip and/or against the capsule stop;
• the second stop is configured to limit a movement of the actuating element and therewith of the capsule in the first direction (P) when the actuating element is in the first state, so as to prevent release of the medical implant from the connector, and is configured to allow movement of the actuating element past the second stop when the actuating element is in the second state, so as to allow complete deployment and release of the medical implant from the connector.
