Abstract
A system and method of delivering and detaching an implant within a body of a patient is described. A tether connects an implant with a delivery device. The delivery device includes a heater through which the tether passes. The inner lumen of the delivery system pusher may accommodate the lead wires which connect to the heater.
Claims18
A pusher for delivering a medical implant, comprising:
- an elongated pusher body having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a heater located at said distal end of said elongated pusher;
- and,
- a proximal electrical detachment system being operably connected to said heater;
- said proximal electrical detachment system having a first electrical contact, a second electrical contact, and a third electrical contact;
- wherein said third electrical contact is isolated from said first electrical contact and said second electrical contact, and wherein said third electrical contact is positioned on said elongated pusher body to communicate to a power supply that said pusher is seated such that power is deliverable to said heater.

A pusher for delivering a medical implant, comprising:
- an elongated pusher body having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a heater circuit comprising a heater located at said distal end of said elongated pusher body, a first electrical contact located near said proximal end of said elongated pusher body and being in electrical communication with said heater, and a second electrical contact located near said proximal end of said elongated pusher body and being in electrical communication with said heater;
- and,
- a third electrical contact located near said proximal end of said elongated pusher body and being electrically isolated from said heater circuit so as to communicate if said pusher is seated in a power supply to deliver power to said first contact and said second contact.
