Patent ID: 7985250

Claim:
A device for inserting a self-expanding stent into a body vessel, the device comprising: a tube which, in a distal portion, keeps the stent radially compressed, a pushing element, which is guided in the tube and has a proximal end and a distal end, a grip having a housing via which the pushing element is secured displaceably on the grip, a stent carrier which is guided in the pushing element and has a tip which is mounted fixedly on the device via the grip, wherein a movable element is guided in the housing of the grip and is coupled to the proximal end of the pushing element via a cable pulley provided in the grip in such a way that, by a movement of the movable element in the proximal direction, the pushing element is at the same time pulled in the distal direction, and the tube in the proximal direction, and wherein a pull grip is also provided in the housing and is coupled to the tube, and wherein the cable pulley has a first tensioning thread which is secured with a first end of the first tensioning thread on the movable element, wherein the first tensioning thread is further guided to the pushing element via a first deflection element provided on the distal end of the housing and wherein the first tensioning thread is secured with a second end of the first tensioning thread on the pushing element.
