Claim Text:
1. A stent delivery device comprising: a guide member having a proximal end and a distal end; a stent mounted to said guide member, wherein the stent is spaced proximally from the distal end of the guide member; a segmented restraining sleeve disposed about the stent, the restraining sleeve having a first end, a second end, and a plurality of segments, each segment extending from the first end to the second end; and an actuating member which cooperates with the first end and second end of the restraining sleeve to maintain said first and second ends in close proximity thereby applying a restraining force to at least a portion of said stent to prevent said stent from expanding, said restraining sleeve cooperatively engaged with the actuating member, so that movement of said actuating member in a proximal direction releases said restraining force to deploy said stent.
