1. A delivery device, comprising,a) a gear rack (106);

  • b) a proximal handle (36) extending about the gear rack (106) and defining teeth (156) at an end of the proximal handle (36), the proximal handle (36) being rotatable about the gear rack (106);

    c) a pinion gear assembly (164) rotatable about an axis that intersects with the axis of rotation of the proximal handle (36) and engages the gear rack (106);

    d) a linking gear assembly (158) that is engaged with the teeth (156) of the proximal handle (36) and selectively rotates with rotation of the pinion gear assembly (164);

    e) an actuator (80) that selectively engages the pinion gear assembly (164) with the linking gear assembly (158);

    f) a delivery catheter (28) fixed to the proximal handle (36), whereby rotation of the proximal handle (36) selectively moves the delivery catheter (28) relative to the gear rack (106) upon engagement of the pinion gear assembly (164) with the linking gear assembly (158) by the actuator (80);

    g) a handle body (20) having a major longitudinal axis (22), a proximal end (24) and a distal end (26), wherein the gear rack (106) extends longitudinally within the handle body (20) and wherein the proximal handle (36) extends about the handle body (20); and

    h) a distal handle (40) that extends around the handle body (20) at the distal end (26) of the handle body (20).
