An apparatus for retracting a sheath from over an expandable medical device includes a shell, configured to couple to a longitudinal element, a carriage disposed within the shell and configured to couple to the sheath, and a lever protruding from the shell. The lever is configured to retract the sheath while a distal end of the longitudinal element contacts the expandable medical device, by rotating proximally so as to move the carriage proximally by a first distance, and, subsequently to rotating proximally, sliding proximally so as to move the carriage proximally by a second distance. Other embodiments are also described.
