Abstract
A delivery device for cardiac valve repair implants includes a delivery catheter, a sheath extending around the delivery catheter and including a distal opening, and a control arm assembly releasably coupleable to a cardiac valve repair implant and configured to selectively expand the frame of the cardiac valve repair implant. The sheath is translatable relative to the delivery catheter and control arm assembly from a distal position to a proximal position and the control arm assembly is configured to be coupled to the cardiac valve repair implant such that, with the sheath in the distal position, a central occluder of the cardiac valve repair implant protrudes from the distal opening and a frame of the cardiac valve repair implant is retained within the sheath. In the former configuration, the occluder may provide a temporary nosecone for the delivery device.
