Abstract
A delivery system for delivering a prosthesis includes a catheter and a selectable tip kit having a plurality of tips. Each tip is uniquely shaped, i.e., has a particular shape different than the shape of all the other tips, and each tip is better suited for some procedures than for others. One of the tips is selected by the physician as being particularly well suited for the procedure to be performed. The selected tip is non-removably attached to the catheter and the remaining tips are discarded. This allows the delivery system to be customizable to each procedure, putting the physician in control of the case. This provides a case specific delivery system for the physicians to use and at a very low expense and with minimal additional engineering.
