Cover device for covering an at least partly released medical implant in a catheter, and catheter comprising a cover device, and also method for covering an at least partly released medical implant with such a cover device

Abstract

A cover device (100), an insertion device (120), and a method for covering an at least partly released medical implant (102), which can be released from an insertion device (120) by a relative movement between a first and a second insertion element (52; 54), the cover device comprising at least one expansion body (10), at which a first radial extension (16) and at least one second radial extension (18) can be set, wherein the second radial extension (18) of the at least one expansion body (10) can be adapted to at least one radial extension (108) of the at least partly released medical implant (102) when the at least partly released medical implant (102) is covered, wherein the at least one expansion body (10) can be expanded substantially homogeneously in the circumferential direction (22) at least in at least one axial portion (20).
