DELIVERY APPARATUS FOR A PROSTHETIC DEVICE

Abstract: a delivery apparatus for a prosthetic valve comprises a handle body, and shaft displacement and shaft adjustment mechanisms coupled to the handle body. the shaft displacement mechanism is configured to axially displace a shaft relative to the handle body. the adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a curvature of the shaft and comprises a pull wire coupled to a distal end of the shaft. a first knob is operatively coupled to the shaft displacement mechanism and rotatable relative to the handle body, wherein rotating the first knob relative to the handle body simultaneously axially displaces the shaft and the pull wire relative to the handle body. a second knob is operatively coupled to the shaft adjustment mechanism and rotatable relative to the handle body, wherein rotating the second knob relative to the handle body adjusts the curvature of the shaft independent of an axial displacement of the shaft.
