Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an implantable medical device that can be delivered through blood vessels with greater precision than previously possible due to its flexible design. This allows for more effective treatment options during surgery or other procedures where it may have to be inserted into blood vessels.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes a problem where current methods of delivering a prosthetic valve can result in complications due to poor placement accuracy and difficulty in achieving complete coverage of the defect area during treatment. There is also a need for a delivery system that can accommodate different shapes and sizes of prostheses without compromising their integrity.

Embodiment Construction

[0048]The present invention relates to systems and methods for accurately delivering and deploying medical repair devices at a treatment site within a patient's vasculature.

[0049]Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment a main body delivery system 10 of the present invention is shown. The delivery system 10 is defined by an inferior end 12 and a superior end 14 and has three main sections; an inner member 20, a variable flexibility hypotube 30 and a sheath assembly 40.

[0050]The elongate inner member 20 is generally tubular and defined by an inferior portion 22 and a superior portion 24. The inner member 20 extends almost the entire length of the delivery system 10 from the inferior end 12 to the superior end 14. The inner member 20 provides the lumen for a guidewire (not shown) over which the delivery system 10 is inserted into a body lumen.

[0051]A medical repair device 90, such as an endovascular graft component (indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 1) is releasably secured to the superior
