A system comprising: an introducer (100, 400) and an endoluminal prosthesis loaded on the introducer; the introducer comprising: an elongate tubular sheath (130, 430) comprising a peelable longitudinal segment (134, 434); an elongate tubular cannula disposed within the sheath (130, 430); and a handle (101, 401) positioned at a proximal end of the cannula; the prosthesis comprising a tubular body comprising a lumen extending longitudinally within the tubular body; wherein the prosthesis is positioned about a proximal end of the cannula, and, in response to a pulling force applied to a distal end of the sheath (130, 430), the peelable segment (134, 434) of the sheath progressively splits in a proximal direction and the sheath (130, 430) moves longitudinally relative to the prosthesis between a delivery configuration in which the sheath (130, 430) is positioned over the prosthesis and a deployment configuration in which the sheath (130, 430) is positioned distal of the prosthesis; and wherein, in the delivery configuration, the distal end of the sheath (130, 430) is spaced longitudinally from a proximal end of the handle by a distance that is shorter than a length of the prosthesis; wherein the sheath (130, 430) is an inner sheath, and the introducer comprises an outer sheath disposed about the inner sheath and comprising a sheath hub positioned at a distal end of the outer sheath, and the sheath hub is spaced longitudinally from the proximal end of the handle (101, 401) by a second distance that is at least as long as the length of the prosthesis. an introducer (100, 400) and an endoluminal prosthesis loaded on the introducer; the introducer comprising: an elongate tubular sheath (130, 430) comprising a peelable longitudinal segment (134, 434); an elongate tubular cannula disposed within the sheath (130, 430); and a handle (101, 401) positioned at a proximal end of the cannula; the prosthesis comprising a tubular body comprising a lumen extending longitudinally within the tubular body; wherein the prosthesis is positioned about a proximal end of the cannula, and, in response to a pulling force applied to a distal end of the sheath (130, 430), the peelable segment (134, 434) of the sheath progressively splits in a proximal direction and the sheath (130, 430) moves longitudinally relative to the prosthesis between a delivery configuration in which the sheath (130, 430) is positioned over the prosthesis and a deployment configuration in which the sheath (130, 430) is positioned distal of the prosthesis; and wherein, in the delivery configuration, the distal end of the sheath (130, 430) is spaced longitudinally from a proximal end of the handle by a distance that is shorter than a length of the prosthesis; wherein the sheath (130, 430) is an inner sheath, and the introducer comprises an outer sheath disposed about the inner sheath and comprising a sheath hub positioned at a distal end of the outer sheath, and the sheath hub is spaced longitudinally from the proximal end of the handle (101, 401) by a second distance that is at least as long as the length of the prosthesis. an elongate tubular sheath (130, 430) comprising a peelable longitudinal segment (134, 434); an elongate tubular cannula disposed within the sheath (130, 430); and a handle (101, 401) positioned at a proximal end of the cannula; the prosthesis comprising a tubular body comprising a lumen extending longitudinally within the tubular body; wherein the prosthesis is positioned about a proximal end of the cannula, and, in response to a pulling force applied to a distal end of the sheath (130, 430), the peelable segment (134, 434) of the sheath progressively splits in a proximal direction and the sheath (130, 430) moves longitudinally relative to the prosthesis between a delivery configuration in which the sheath (130, 430) is positioned over the prosthesis and a deployment configuration in which the sheath (130, 430) is positioned distal of the prosthesis; and wherein, in the delivery configuration, the distal end of the sheath (130, 430) is spaced longitudinally from a proximal end of the handle by a distance that is shorter than a length of the prosthesis; wherein the sheath (130, 430) is an inner sheath, and the introducer comprises an outer sheath disposed about the inner sheath and comprising a sheath hub positioned at a distal end of the outer sheath, and the sheath hub is spaced longitudinally from the proximal end of the handle (101, 401) by a second distance that is at least as long as the length of the prosthesis.
