Anchor deployment apparatus
First Claim
1. An anchor deployment assembly for deploying an anchor about a therapy delivery element, comprising:
- an anchor receiving element including an elongate member defining a first opening, a second opening, and a lumen extending from the first opening to the second opening, wherein the lumen is configured to slidably receive at least a portion of a therapy delivery element;
an anchor engagement element having a body defining (i) a face, and (ii) a channel extending along the body proximally from the face,wherein the channel is configured to slidably receive the elongate member of the anchor receiving element, andwherein the face is configured to engage an anchor disposed about the elongate member of the anchor receiving element when the elongate member of the anchor receiving element is moved proximally relative to the face; and
an alignment element securable relative to the elongate member of the anchor receiving element and configured to secure the elongate member relative to the body of the anchor engagement element to restrict movement of the elongate member orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the channel of the body.
