Abstract
A control mechanism comprises an elongate handlehaving an external threadand a barrelwith internally projecting pinsthreaded over handle. Rotation of barrelcauses handleto move back and forth along its longitudinal axis to retract and advance a catheter sheath to which handleis coupled, thereby enabling an implant to be deployed by the catheter. Rotation movement of barreland longitudinal movement of handlecan be disassociated to enable speedy retraction or advancement of the catheter sheath.
