Abstract
The invention relates to a pusher assembly for an insertion system for a vascular implant. The pusher assembly has a catheter tube. The catheter tube has a tubular cavity for accommodating a guide wire and has a proximal catheter tube segment and a distal catheter tube segment adjoining the proximal catheter tube segment. The distal catheter tube segment is provided at least partially for movably accommodating a vascular implant on the distal catheter tube segment. The catheter tube also has a pusher unit for releasing the vascular implant, said pusher unit being proximally adjacent to a vascular implant loaded onto catheter tube. The pusher assembly is characterized in that the pusher unit is formed by individual, segment-like elements, which are arranged on behind the other and adjacent to each other and are arranged on the catheter tube in order to proximally adjoin the vascular implant.
