Abstract

Medical devices and delivery systems for delivering medical devices to a target location within a subject. In some embodiments the medical devices can be locked in a fully deployed and locked configuration. In some embodiments the delivery systems are configured with a single actuator to control the movement of multiple components of the delivery system. In some embodiments the actuator controls the independent and dependent movement of multiple components of the delivery system.

Claims10

Dependent claims

A method of deploying a medical device in a patient with a delivery system, comprising:

advancing a distal portion of a medical device delivery system to a medical device deployment site within a patient,
wherein the medical device delivery system comprises a housing disposed external to the patient,
wherein the housing comprises an actuator;
actuating the actuator to move a first delivery system component independently of a second delivery system component;
actuating the actuator to move the first delivery system component and the second delivery system component at the same time;
and
rotating the actuator to translate rotational movement into linear movement.
