  • a housing having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end, a distal end, and a medical device location adapted to releasably contain the medical device;

    an outer deflector that deploys to a first diameter at a distal end, the outer deflector also having a proximal end mounted at the distal end of the housing;

    an inner deflector disposed within the outer deflector, the inner deflector deploying to a second diameter, and having a proximal end and a distal end; and

    a compression device disposed over the housing, movable in relation to the housing, and adapted for moving over the outer and inner deflectors to a delivery position to thereby collapse both the outer and inner deflectors into a delivery configuration, and for sliding to a retracted position to permit the outer and inner deflectors to expand to a deployed configuration;

    wherein the medical device location in the housing is located so that the medical device is deployed between the outer and inner deflectors.
