Abstract:
A braid implant delivery and retraction device having a catheter, an expandable element and a delivery wire with distal, pusher, and recapture bumps. The expandable element having compressed, partially delivered, and implanted configurations. Delivering the braid can include engaging the distal bump till the braid is in the partially delivered configuration. If the user needs to recapture the braid, the recapture bump engages the braid proximally. To fully implant the braid, the distal bump is used until the braid is partially delivered and the distal bump disengages, now the pusher bump completes implanting by proximally pushing the braid completely out of the catheter.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of deploying an implant comprising the steps of:\n providing an implantation delivery system comprising a catheter, an expandable element, and a delivery wire; positioning a proximal anchor at a proximal end of the expandable element; positioning a distal anchor at a distal end of the expandable element; positioning a distal bump on the delivery wire; positioning a recapture bump on the delivery wire proximal to the distal bump; positioning a proximal bump on the delivery wire proximal to the recapture bump; positioning the distal bump and the recapture bump within a lumen of the expandable element; positioning the proximal bump proximal to the expandable element; positioning the expandable element and at least a portion of the delivery wire within a lumen of the catheter; partially implanting the expandable element, comprising the steps of:\n moving the distal anchor and the expandable element distally through the lumen of the catheter by pushing the delivery wire distally thereby pushing the distal bump against the distal anchor while the proximal bump and recapture bump remain disengaged from the expandable element; \n expelling the distal anchor from a distal end of the catheter by pushing the delivery wire distally thereby pushing the distal bump against the distal anchor while the proximal bump and recapture bump remain disengaged from the expandable element; and \n expanding the expelled distal anchor, thereby disengaging the distal bump from the expandable element; \n retracting at least a portion of the expandable element into the catheter by pulling the delivery wire proximally thereby pulling the recapture bump against the proximal anchor while the distal bump and the proximal bump remain disengaged from the expandable element; and \n completing implantation of the expandable element, comprising the steps of:\n expelling the proximal anchor from the distal end of the catheter by pushing the delivery wire distally thereby disengaging the recapture bump from the expandable element and pushing the proximal bump against the proximal anchor; and \n expanding the expelled proximal anchor, thereby disengaging the proximal bump.
