Claim Text:
1. A method for delivering a stent device comprising: inserting a guide wire to an afflicted area, the guide wire adapted for slideable insertion of a stent and catheter to an afflicted area; delivering an inner scaffolding disposed on a balloon catheter along the guide wire, the inner scaffolding defining a cylindrical volume around a balloon of the balloon catheter disposed between distal and proximate ridges of the balloon catheter, the inner scaffolding having flexible members expandable radially and responsive to the balloon catheter; disposing, via a delivery device, an outer netting, the outer netting defining a cylindrical shape having ends defining distal and proximate openings for disposing concentrically around the inner scaffolding, the outer netting having a diameter larger than a diameter of the inner scaffolding, the delivery device having a cylindrical body and a limiting ridge for engaging the outer netting for slideable insertion around the inner scaffolding, the limiting ridge defined by an outer diameter larger than the outer netting and an inner diameter smaller than the proximate ridge on the balloon catheter; advancing the outer netting over the inner scaffolding from slideable movement of delivery device along the guide wire to engage the limiting ridge with the proximate ridge of the catheter on which the inner scaffolding is disposed at a point which the outer netting is substantially centered over the inner scaffolding; and retracting the delivery device leaving the outer netting disposed around the inner scaffolding, the outer netting having locking clips disposed at a distal end of the outer netting, the locking clips adapted to engage the outer netting to the inner scaffolding.
