1. A delivery device comprising:
- an inner shaft having one or more delivery platforms for deployment of one or more intraluminal devices;
an outer sheath surrounding the inner shaft and configured to cover the one or more delivery platforms pre-deployment and to be withdrawn from at least one of the one or more delivery platforms as part of a deployment of the one or more intraluminal devices;
an outer sheath rack comprising a plurality of teeth, the outer sheath rack coupled to the outer sheath;
a handle housing, wherein the inner shaft and the outer sheath rack are at least partially positioned within the handle housing, the handle housing comprising at least one pawl configured to engage with the plurality of teeth on the outer sheath rack to prevent re-sheathing of the outer sheath over the one or more delivery platforms after a deployment;
a shuttle having a pair of deflection arms configured for selective engagement with the plurality of teeth on the outer sheath rack, the pair of deflection arms comprising a first deflection arm and a second deflection arm, the first and second deflection arms extending towards each other with at least one tooth positioned between an end of the first deflection arm and an end of the second deflection when the arms are in engagement with the plurality of teeth, the first and second deflection arms being deflectable away from the plurality of teeth;
a trigger mechanically linked to the shuttle such that actuation of the trigger causes linear movement of the shuttle along the length of the inner shaft which withdraws the outer sheath from covering the one or more delivery platforms.
