Implantation device with handle and method of use thereof
First Claim
1. An instrument for deploying an implantable medical device in a body lumen, the device comprising:
- a base member comprising a base handle;
a deployment extension having a distal end and a proximate end, the proximate end is connected to the base handle;
a first tubular member that fits over the deployment extension and is longitudinally slidable over the deployment extension, the first tubular member comprising;
a first tubular body with a distal end and a proximate end, and a first handle for controlling movement of the first tubular member; and
a second tubular member that fits over the first tubular member and is longitudinally slidable over the first tubular member, the second tubular member comprising;
a second tubular body with a distal end and a proximate end, and a second handle for controlling movement of the second tubular member,wherein the first handle is located between the base handle and the second handle and wherein the distal ends of the deployment extension, the first tubular body, and the second tubular body are adapted to deploy an implantable medical device, andwherein the distal ends in each of the deployment extension, the first tubular body and the second tubular body comprises a screw, luer or hub that is configured to facilitate removable attachment of a catheter to the distal ends in each of the deployment extension, the first tubular body and the second tubular body.

Abstract
An instrument for deploying an implantable medical device into a body lumen is disclosed. The instrument comprises a base member having a base handle and a deployment extension, a first tubular member having a first tubular body and a first handle, and a second tubular member having a second tubular body and a second handle. The first tubular member fits over the deployment extension and is longitudinally slidable over the deployment extension, and the second tubular member fits over the first tubular member and is longitudinally slidable over the first tubular member. The distal ends of the deployment extension, the first tubular body, and the second tubular body are adapted to hold and deploy the implantable medical device.
