Abstract:
1. A system for delivering an endoluminal prosthesis within a body lumen of a patient, comprising: a handle member; a control member slidably coupled to the handle member; an outer tubular member extending distally from the control member; an elongate inner member slidably disposed within the outer tubular member and axially fixed with respect to the handle member; a shaft rotatably mounted to the handle member, the shaft including a gear coupled to the control member such that rotation of the shaft displaces the outer tubular member axially with respect to the elongate inner member; and a uni-directional mechanism that limits rotation of the shaft to only one direction, such that when the shaft is rotated in the one direction, the outer tubular member is directed from a distal position to a proximal position.
