Claim 0:
1. A system for deploying an implant, the system comprising:
an entrance sized to receive an elongated release member of an implant delivery system and inhibit proximal movement of a catheter of the implant delivery system;
a pair of clamp arms, at least one clamp arm of the pair of clamp arms rotatable from an open position to a closed position, the open position disengaged from the elongated release member and the closed position engaged with the elongated release member;
a shuttle translatable in a proximal direction and a distal direction, on which the pair of clamp arms are mounted; and
a slider translatable in the proximal direction and the distal direction,
wherein upon a first proximal translation of the slider, the slider contacts the at least one of the pair of clamp arms, and the slider applies force to rotate the at least one of the pair of clamp arms from the open position to the closed position,
wherein upon the first proximal translation of the slide, the slider contacts the other of the pair of clamp arms and applies a second force to the other of the pair of clamp arms to move the second clamp arm from the open position to the closed position,
wherein a second proximal translation of the slider applies force to translate the shuttle and the pair of clamp arms proximally, and the proximal translation of the pair of clamp arms proximally withdraws the elongated release member proximally from the catheter, and
wherein the slider contacts each clamp arm of the pair of clamp arms simultaneously.
