Abstract:
In a system and method for deployment of an implant device, the implant device includes a first loop at its proximal end, and a deployment tool has a second loop attached at its distal end. A release wire slidably disposed within the deployment tool has a distal end extending through the first and second loops to releasably couple the implant device to the deployment tool, and a proximal portion extending from a proximal end of the deployment tool, which is held in a retraction device. The retraction device is operable to hold the proximal end of the deployment tool and to pull the release wire proximally through the deployment tool until the distal end of the release wire is withdrawn from the first and second loops to decouple the implant device from the deployment tool.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 14 , wherein the gripping step is performed by a gripping assembly movable between a position of engagement with the exposed portion of the release wire and a position of non-engagement with the exposed portion of the release wire, and wherein the step of pulling the release wire proximally is performed by:\n (a) moving the gripping assembly proximally while the gripping assembly is in the position of engagement to pull the release wire proximally a distance sufficient to withdraw the distal end of the release wire from the first and second loops; (b) moving the gripping assembly into the position of non-engagement; and (c) moving the gripping assembly distally when the gripping assembly is in the position of non-engagement.
