- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Delivery system for deploying medical implants, such as an endovscular stent graft, vena cava filter, self-expanding stent, balloon expandable stent or the like, are a highly developed and well known field of medical technology. These medical devices have many well known uses and applications. In particular, a stent is a prosthesis which is generally tubular and which is expanded radially in a vessel or lumen to maintain its patency. Stents are widely used in body vessels, body canals, ducts or other body lumens. A self-expanding stent is a stent which expands from a compressed delivery position to its original diameter when released from the delivery device, exerting radial force on the constricted portion of the body lumen to re-establish patency. One common self-expanding stent is manufactured of Nitinol, a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy, which can be formed and annealed, deformed at a low temperature, and recalled to its original shape with heating, such as when deployed at body temperature in the body.

An alternate embodiment may locatemarker bands stent 18 in its expanded position, which would have a slightly shorter length than the stent in its delivery configuration. A nylonband stent stop 40 is also bonded to thesingle lumen extrusion 35 and prevents thestent 18 from moving proximally along thesingle lumen extrusion 35 as theouter sheath 14 retracts, assisting in accurate stent placement.Stop 40 could also be attached using any standard technique, such as overmolding or ultrasonic welding. - In the preferred embodiment the retractable
outer sheath 14 is a clear medical grade PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) extrusion which covers the distal 10-20 cm (depending on stent length) of thecatheter body 12.

The distal end of retractableouter sheath 14 is designed to flush fit withtip 20 to create a smooth profile. The proximal end of retractableouter sheath 14 is finished with a smooth transition consisting of a thermally molded nylon extrusion swaged in place with a tantalum radiopaque marker band 44 (best seen in FIG. 7). It should be understood that tapered transition could be molded in place, which would eliminate the need for a marker band swaged in place to attach the nylong extrusion. It should also be understood that the marker band could be bonded or crimp/swaged. The tapered smooth transition of the proximal portion ofouter sheath 14 allowscatheter body 12 to be more easily extracted from the body lumen and introducer sheath. The proximal end of retractableouter sheath 14 slidably seals tocatheter body 12 permitting it to slide proximally alongcatheter body 12 when retracted by pull-wire 32. Thenitinol stent 18 is compressed at low temperature for loading into delivery system 10 and held in its reduced delivery configuration by retractableouter sheath 14. Upon deployment in vivo at body temperature the original stent shape is restored as the nitinol stent self-expands, exerting radial force on the constricted portion of the body lumen to re-establish patency.Marker band 45 is also bonded toextrusion 35 approximately one stent length proximally of marker band 42 (in the unretracted position) and is utilized to confirm full stent release as discussed further below.

luer assembly 50 is shown, and consists of a nylon Y-luer with a nylon single lumen extrusion overmolded to each leg of the “Y”. It should be understood that the extrusion could also be bonded to each leg of the “Y”.Leg 58 of the “Y” forms the stent flushing port andleg 60 forms the guidewire port. Each single lumen is thermally lap welded to thecatheter body 12 and provides communication between the Y-luer and theguidewire lumen 22 and thestent flushing lumen 24. The stent flushing lumen is used to fill the retractableouter sheath 14 with fluid to purge air out of theouter sheath 14 prior to insertion of thecatheter body 12 into the body. - Referring now to FIG. 11, the proximal retraction handle16 is shown in more detail and is a multi-component assembly ergonomically designed with a
pistol grip 46, which is engaged bytrigger spring 62. Thepistol grip 46 or trigger has twocylindrical protrusions 64 on either side oftrigger 46 which extend outwardly and are received by pivot mounts molded into the proximal retraction handle 16 to attach thepistol grip 46 to thehandle 16 as well as provide a point about which the pistol grip rotates. A trigger stop 66 defines the normal trigger position and thetrigger 46 is maintained in this normal position bytrigger spring 62. As thetrigger 46 is squeezed it rotates to its compressed position, and when released the trigger spring forces the trigger to rotate back to its normal position flush with the trigger stop 66.Trigger 46 includes a pair ofgear engaging members 68 which are spaced apart to form a channel wide enough to receive thelarger gear 72 of gear 70. Gear 70 includesgear 72 and a pair of gears 74 fixedly attached on either side ofgear 72. Gears 74 engage thegear engaging portions 68 oftrigger 46 to rotate gear 70 astrigger 46 rotates. Axle 76 is received by molded mounts in the two parts ofhandle 16 to attach the gear to thehandle 16.Gear 72 engages the ratchet mechanism which is attached to the pull-wire 32. The ratchet mechanism is comprised of a rack driver which is comprised of 2 parts, arack 80 and arack tab 82, which snap fit together to form a channel for receivingstrip 84. As can be seen best in FIG. 15,strip 84 contains ramp shaped stops 86, each adjacent pair of stops forming detents 88 (best seen in FIG. 15).Rack tab 82 contains a flexible ratcheting pawl 89 which engages withdetents 88 such that when the rack driver is moved proximally when thetrigger 46 is squeezed to its compressed position,strip 84 is moved proximally, but when the rack driver is moved distally whentrigger 46 is rotated to its normal position, the flexible ratcheting pawl 89 slides up ramp shapedstop 86 to disengage fromstrip 84. - As is best shown in FIG. 12,
strip 84 is received by channel 90. A second spring,strip spring 92 is securely held to handle 16 bytail 94 and its lockinghead portion 96 lockingly engages withdetents 88 to holdstrip 84 in place whentrigger 46 is released andrack tab 82 is moved distally to lockingly engage with the adjacentdistal detent 88. The ramp shaped stops 86 (best seen in FIG. 15) allow the strip to be moved proximally in channel 90 byrack tab 82 until the adjacent detent lockingly engages withstrip spring 92. The detents are each approximately 2 mm apart so that each complete squeeze of thetrigger 46 retracts the pull-wire 32 andouter sheath 14 approximately 20 mm. By repeatedly squeezing and releasingtrigger 46 theouter sheath 14 is fully retracted to release thestent 18 to self-expand. The rachet mechanism is designed to work with any stent of lengths between 20 and 100 mm, although it could easily be designed to accept any desired length stent. - The ratio of gear70 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 12 is 2:1, such that a 1 mm squeeze on
trigger 46 retracts the outer sheath 2 mm. However, it should be understood that any desired gear ratio could be utilized. For example gear 70 is designed optionally to allow for a gear ratio of 1:1. In that embodiment atrigger 46 with a singlegear engaging portion 68 is designed to engagegear 72, rather than gears 74, to provide a 1:1 ratio such that a 1 mm squeeze on the trigger will retract theouter sheath 14 1 mm. In order to accommodate thisdetents 88 would be spaced approximately 1 mm apart onstrip 84 and it should be understood that thestops 86 anddetents 88 could be arranged in any desired spacing. Gear 70 could also be designed if desired to have a ratio of 1:2, such that a 2 mm squeeze oftrigger 46 retractsouter sheath 14 1 mm. - In operation, pre-placement imaging or other standard procedure is normally performed to identify an insertion tract and assess the site. A guidewire (0.035 inch diameter in the preferred embodiment)28 is maneuvered through the tract. The delivery system 10, with the preloaded medical device (a self-expanding stent in the preferred embodiment) is then passed through an introducer sheath and tracked over the guidewire until the medical device is positioned as desired. In the
preferred embodiment markers stent 18 across the stricture. As thetrigger 46 is repeatedly squeezed, theouter sheath 14 is retracted proximally to release the stent to self-expand. To aid in confirming complete stent deployment and release the operator observesmarker 42 move to meetmarker 45. - FIGS. 3, 13 and14 show the distal end of delivery system 10 in a pre-deployed state (FIG. 3), partially deployed state (FIG. 13) and fully deployed state (FIG. 14).
- Referring now to FIGS. 16 and 17, an alternate embodiment of the inventive delivery system is shown where the pull-
wire 32 is U-shaped with theU loop portion 100 of the pull-wire 32 looping around anotch 102 in the pull-ring 34. The 2 ends of the U-shaped pull-wire extend through pull-wire lumen 26 to attach to the ratchet mechanism. As shown in FIG. 17, if desired a plurality of pull-wires 32 could by looped around a plurality ofnotches 102 spaced around pull-ring 34. A second pull-wire lumen could be provided to carry one or more pull-wires 32 to allow the pull-ring to be retracted with the pulling force more evenly distributed around the pull-ring perimeter. Two U-shaped pull-wires 32, each carried by a separate lumen and each looping around pull-ring 34 as shown in FIG. 17 would provide 4 points arranged around pull-ring 34 to more evenly distribute the pulling force on the pull-ring. Each pull-wire lumen could also optionally carry more than 1 pull-wire to provide as many attachment points on pull-ring 34 as desired. - This completes the description of the preferred and alternate embodiments of the invention. It is to be understood that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with the details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size and arrangement of parts within the principals of the invention, to the full extent indicated by the broad, general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed. Those skilled in the art may recognize other equivalents to the specific embodiment described herein which are intended to be encompassed by the claims attached hereto.
