Abstract
A stent delivery system includes a handling device having a housing, a thumbwheel rotatably mounted in the housing, and a winding spool rotating with the thumbwheel. A catheter arrangement includes an inner shaft fixed on the housing. An outer sheath is coaxial to the inner shaft. A stent is received between the inner shaft and outer sheath. A pull member engages the outer sheath and is held on the winding spool to be windable. For release of the stent, the outer sheath is displaceable by winding the pull member on the winding spool. A locking mechanism causes, upon reaching at least one defined angle of rotation of the thumbwheel, a locking state of the rotational mobility of the thumbwheel, and thereby of the proximal displaceability of the outer sheath. An unlocking mechanism is in operative connection to the locking mechanism. The locking state is reversible with the unlocking mechanism.
