Abstract:
1. A device for delivering a vascular device within a body lumen, the delivery device comprising: a tubular sleeve defining a distal opening; an inner member at least partially disposed within the tubular sleeve and configured to move axially therein, wherein the inner member defines a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein the inner member comprises a stop fixedly disposed proximate the distal end, a first band of increased thickness fixedly disposed at a predetermined distance from the stop, such that the first band is proximally disposed with respect to the stop, and a second band of increased thickness fixedly disposed at a predetermined distance between the first band and the stop; and a free-floating ring slideably received on the inner member and within the tubular sleeve and configured to slide along the inner member between the first band and the second band, wherein the tubular sleeve and the inner member are configured to receive a proximal portion of a vascular device therebetween such that, when the stop is disposed within the tubular sleeve and within the proximal portion of the vascular device, the proximal end of the vascular device is maintained within the tubular sleeve, and wherein, when the inner member is moved relative to the tubular sleeve, the free-floating ring is configured to cooperate with the first band to push the proximal end of the vascular device through the distal opening of the tubular sleeve to deploy the vascular device.
