CONTROL HANDLE WITH A SLIDER MECHANISM FOR CONTROLLING FUNCTIONS OF A DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR IMPLANTING A MEDICAL DEVICE

Abstract: a control handle for controlling functions of a delivery system for implanting a medical device is described. the delivery system comprises an elongate delivery catheter and a mandrel being displaceable longitudinally relative to the delivery catheter. the control handle comprises a slider mechanism and a handle housing. the slider mechanism is configured for being displaceable in a longitudinal direction relative to the handle housing between a fully undeployed position and a fully deployed position such as to thereby displacing the mandrel relative to the delivery catheter by a deployment distance. the slider mechanism is further configured such that, in the fully undeployed position, the mandrel is fixed relative to the slider mechanism such that the mandrel is not displaceable relative to the slider mechanism beyond a predetermined stop position due to a mechanical mandrel motion blockage, whereas, in a tether position being beyond the fully deployed position, the mandrel is movable in the longitudinal direction relative to the slider mechanism beyond the predetermined stop position due to the mandrel motion blockage being released.
