Abstract
The present application relates to a stent device deployment apparatus. The apparatus comprises a body having an internal bore for receiving at least a length of sheathed stent device collapsed into an un-deployed state. A bore restriction is provided for restricting passage of any stent device present in the bore to a distal end of the body. The bore restriction is configured for allowing stent device sheath material of a stent device in the bore to be accessed at the distal end of the body and pulled past the bore restriction, thereby exposing the stent device at a proximal end thereof.
