System for delivery of a trans myocardial device to a heart wall

A delivery system for delivery to and insertion in a heart wall of a separate trans myocardial revascularization (TMR) implant;

• the delivery system comprising;
• an elongated, tubular body to carry and insert the TMR implant into the heart wall;
• the elongated body having a distal end and a proximal end;
• a needle shaft having a needle point formed on the distal end;
• the TMR implant carried on the needle shaft;
• a pin mounted on the needle shaft to support the TMR implant during insertion into the heart wall;
• a handle formed on the proximal end for rotation of the elongated, tubular body when inserting the TMR implant into the heart wall;
• a port formed in the needle shaft;
• an indicator port formed adjacent the distal end;
• and
• an internal conduit formed between the port and the indicator port to allow fluid communication there between.

The delivery system for delivery to and insertion in a heart wall of a separate trans myocardial revascularization (TMR) implant;

• the delivery system comprising, in combination:
• an elongated, tubular body to carry and insert the TMR implant into the heart wall;
• the elongated, tubular body having a distal end and a proximal end;
• a needle point formed on the distal end;
• the TMR implant carried on the distal end of the elongated, tubular body, adjacent the needle point;
• a pin mounted on the distal end of the elongated, tubular body, adjacent the needle point, to hold the TMR implant during insertion into the heart wall;
• a handle formed on the proximal end for rotation of the elongated, tubular body when inserting the TMR implant into the heart wall;
• and
• a sheath assembly surrounding the needle shaft.
