Abstract
A stent graft delivery device () has a pull wire arrangement with a pull wire () fastened to the distal end of a nose cone dilator () and extending to a wire pull mechanism () for the pull wire associated with a handle () of the stent graft delivery device. The pull wire can be pulled by the wire pull mechanism to induce a curve in a guide wire catheter () distally of the nose cone dilator such that the proximal end of the delivery device more closely fits the shape of a portion of the vasculature of a patient into which the device is deployed.
