ABSTRACT:
An application system for a stent comprising a catheter having at least one retention structure permanently connected to the catheter and a stent drawn onto the catheter using at least one retention element. The retention structure provides a retention area which receives and fixes the retention element. The retention element of the stent and the retention structure of the catheter have their geometry and position tailored to one another in such a way that the retention element is located in the retention area of the retention structure in the non-expanded state of the stent and the retention structure and/or the retention element are offset to one another upon expansion of the stent or at least in the expanded state of the stent so that the retention element is no longer located in the retention area of the retention structure.
