Abstract
An assembly includes an implant body and a delivery apparatus. The implant body includes a lattice structure, an adjustment member, and a control device. The lattice structure is circumferentially expandable and contractible. The adjustment member and the control device are coupled to the lattice structure. Actuating the adjustment member results in circumferential expansion or contraction of the lattice structure. The delivery apparatus includes a rotatable adjustment tool and a locking mechanism comprising a controllable catch coupled to an end portion of the rotatable adjustment tool. The rotatable adjustment tool is configured to actuate the adjustment member of the implant body upon rotation of the rotatable adjustment tool. The controllable catch of the locking mechanism is configured to selectively couple the rotatable adjustment tool to the adjustment member of the implant body.
