Releasable top cap assembly
First Claim
1. A releasable top cap assembly for a delivery device, comprising:
- a top cap having a top portion and a bottom portion releasably attached to the top portion, the bottom portion comprising two adjacent side portions, the adjacent side portions being separable from one another;
a cannula disposed through the top cap having a proximal end and a distal end;
a connector attached to the proximal end of the cannula, and,a pair of wire components extending substantially within an interior lumen of the cannula, each wire component having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end of each wire component attached to the connector and the distal end of each wire component attached to the side portions of the top cap assembly.

Abstract
A releasable top cap system for a delivery device having an emergency release includes a top cap having a top portion and a bottom portion releasably attached to the top portion, the bottom portion having two adjacent side portions. A cannula is positioned distal to the top cap having a proximal end and a distal end. A connector is attached to the proximal end of the cannula. A pair of wire components extend throughout the length of the cannula. Each wire component has a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end of each wire component is attached to the male luer lock component and the distal end of each wire component is attached to the side portions of the top cap assembly.

20. A system for endoluminally delivering and deploying an endoluminal prosthesis, comprising:
-
a prosthesis having an end portion and a body portion, the end portion including a stent; a releasable top cap assembly for maintaining at least a portion of the stent until deployment, the releasable top cap assembly comprising, a top cap having a top portion and a bottom portion releasably attached to the top portion, the bottom portion comprising two adjacent side portions, the adjacent side portions being separable from one another; a cannula disposed through the top cap having a proximal end and a distal end; a connector attached to the proximal end of the cannula; and
,a pair of wire components extending substantially within an interior lumen of the cannula, each wire component having a distal end and a proximal end, where the distal end of each wire component is bowed outwardly in the direction of the side portions of the top cap and where the two side portions of the top cap are released upon movement of a locking mechanism.
