MEDICAL IMPLANT SYSTEM

Abstract

A medical implant system (1) comprises an access sheath (2) having a lumen (3), an implant system disposed within and axially adjustable relative to the lumen (3) of the access sheath (2) and comprising an implant (6) that is radially adjustable from a contracted delivery configuration to a radially expanded deployed configuration detachably coupled to an implant delivery shaft (4) having a lumen (5), an anchoring system mountable within and axially adjustable relative to the lumen (5) of the implant delivery shaft (4) comprising an anchor (8) that is radially adjustable from a contracted delivery configuration to a radially expanded implant anchoring configuration detachably coupled to an anchor delivery shaft (7), and a handle (9) configured to be operatively coupled to the implant delivery shaft (4) and access sheath (2) and comprising an axial actuator to adjust the axial position of the implant delivery shaft (4) relative to the access sheath (2) to deploy and/or recapture the implant (6). The axial actuator comprises an external actuator sleeve (23) rotatably mounted to the main body (20) of the handle (9) for rotation about a longitudinal axis (21) of the handle (9). Methods of using the medical implant system (1) are also described.
