1. A prosthesis deployment device comprising:

  • an elongate delivery catheter assembly configured to retain and deploy a prosthesis;

    a housing operably coupled to the delivery catheter; and

    an actuator operably coupled to the housing such that displacement of the actuator displaces a portion of the delivery catheter assembly to deploy the prosthesis,wherein the displacement of the delivery catheter assembly to deploy the prosthesis is in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the deployment device and the displacement of the actuator to displace the portion of the delivery catheter assembly is in a direction disposed at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the deployment device,wherein an arm of the actuator is coupled to a ratchet slide such that rotation of the actuator and the arm about a pin causes the arm to displace the ratchet slide parallel to the longitudinal axis of the deployment device,wherein the actuator extends from the pin in a first direction and the arm extends from the pin in a second direction,wherein displacement of the ratchet slide incrementally advances a carrier along the ratchet slide, andwherein the carrier comprises a ratchet slide engaging arm that extends from the carrier to engage the ratchet slide and a housing engaging arm that extends from the carrier to engage the housing.
