Abstract
A vascular intervention device delivery system, such as for implanting a self expanding stent, includes a thumbwheel rotatably mounted in a handle. The thumbwheel includes a radially outward thumb surface and a spool. A catheter has a proximal end attached to the handle, and a distal carrier segment for mounting a vascular intervention device thereon. A retractable sheath is movable from a first position covering the distal carrier segment to a second position retracted proximally uncovering the distal carrier segment. A pull extends between the thumbwheel and the retractable sheath. The pull terminates at a proximal end with an integral anchor that extends through an opening in a wall that separates an inner surface of spool from a collection surface. The retractable sheath moves responsive to rotation of the thumbwheel in a first direction.
