Abstract
A stent graft introducer () which includes a handle arrangement which by telescopic movement of a slide or slide portions () into a handle portion () causes controlled sequential deployment of a stent graft (). Stops () ensure actions are carried out in a selected order. A sheath () of the introducer is fixed to a slide portion such that with retraction of the slide portion the sheath is withdrawn from a stent graft retained on the introducer and at a selected position trigger wires retaining the stent graft onto the introducer are also released. Interconnections between the slides and the handle are provided to prevent relative rotation and re-extension after full retraction.
