Abstract
The apparatus has a delivery shaftbearing a tubular device constrained within a moveable sheath, and a handle comprising a hollow shaftwith a static gripand a grip slidermovable proximally or distally. The grip slider is connected to a slider blockfixed to a sheath hubto which the sheath is fastened. A retraction wheelhas a spoolfor winding a retraction wireconnected to a retraction blockin contact with the slider block enabling the slider block to be pushed as the retraction block is retracted distally. Initial incremental movement of the retraction block by winding of the retraction wire, moves the slider block and retraction block simultaneously. Subsequently the slider block is movable independently of the retraction block using the grip slider, leaving the retraction block behind.
