Abstract
An implant delivery system is described. The implant delivery system utilizes an implant, implant wire, delivery sheath, and a torque device. The torque device may include a cutting element to slit the delivery sheath and a clamp device to fix the position of the implant delivery wire.
Claims21
An implant delivery device for delivering a medical implant operatively connected to an elongated implant wire, comprising:
- a torque device comprising:
- a body member having recessed portions;
- a mating piece having recessed portions that removably connects to and mates with the body member;
- a first passage extending through the body member, the first passage comprising recessed area of the body member and recessed area in the mating piece that align with each other, the first passage continuing through the body member;
- a separator member removably located within the first passage and allowing passage of the elongated implant wire;
- the separator member comprising a separator tube and a cutting element that is fixed to the tube and positioned proximally of a distal end of the tube;
- a second passage connecting to the first passage near the cutting element, the second passage extending away from the first passage;
- the second passage comprising recessed area of the body member and recessed area in the mating piece that mate with each other;
- a clamp mechanism which selectively presses against the elongated implant wire;
- wherein the cutting element is positioned in the first passage in between the body member and the mating piece to slit a sheath passing through the first passage and wherein the torque device directs the slit sheath into the second passage while leaving the implant in place.

An implant delivery device for delivering a medical implant operatively connected to an elongated implant wire, comprising:
- a torque device comprising:
- a body member having recessed portions;
- a mating piece having recessed portions that removably connects to and mates with the body member;
- a first passage extending through the body member, the first passage comprising recessed area of the body member and recessed area in the mating piece that align with each other, the first passage continuing through the body member;
- a separator tube located within the first passage and allowing passage of the elongated implant wire;
- a cutting element that is fixed adjacent to the tube and positioned proximally of a distal end of the tube;
- a second passage connecting to the first passage near the cutting element, the second passage extending away from the first passage;
- the second passage comprising recessed area of the body member and recessed area in the mating piece that mate with each other;
- a clamp mechanism which selectively presses against the elongated implant wire;
- wherein the cutting element is positioned in the first passage in between the body member and the mating piece to slit a sheath passing through the first passage and wherein the torque device directs the slit sheath into the second passage while leaving the implant in place.
