ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an applicator for a prosthesis of the type having a tubular element and distal and proximal flange fingers which are arranged distributed around the periphery of the tubular element and can be brought into a straightened position under spring tension for fitting the prosthesis. The applicator comprises a carrier tube with, at the distal end thereof, a supporting ring that fits in the tubular element; a movable release rod that is housed in the carrier tube and has a distal release ring at the distal end. The distal release ring is provided with an undercut that opens in the proximal direction, extends around the periphery and has an internal peripheral surface facing inwards. This internal peripheral surface lies within or on the outer contour of the external peripheral surface of the supporting ring. The invention furthermore relates to an assembly of such an applicator with a tubular element clamped thereon as well as to a fixture system for fitting the tubular element on the applicator.
