Abstract:
1. A medical device delivery system, comprising: a sheath having a wall comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface defining a lumen along the sheath, an access opening through a proximal portion of the outer surface and in fluid communication with the lumen, the access opening separated from a proximal end of the sheath; a delivery member at least partially disposed within a portion of the lumen distal to the access opening, the delivery member passing through the access opening; a lock slidably disposed on an outer periphery of the wall, the lock slidably moveable between a first position and a second position along a longitudinal axis of the sheath; and a first marker disposed proximal to the opening on the outer surface, the first marker protruding radially outwardly from the sheath, the first marker preventing movement of the lock towards a proximal end of the sheath beyond the first position; wherein the first marker is positioned such that, when the lock is in the first position, the lock covers the access opening and restricts proximal and distal longitudinal movement of the delivery member relative to the sheath.
