ABSTRACT:
The invention is an assembly for positioning an implant that has an axis and at least one axial tubular region having an inside diameter. More specifically, the assembly positions the implant into an internal passageway in a body, such as a blood vessel. The assembly has two removable elements, both having a predetermined cross-section. At the distal end of the first element of the assembly is a lateral protuberance having a radial length. The assembly is further characterized in that the cumulative cross-section dimension of the two elements away from their distal ends and the radial length of the lateral protuberance are both smaller than the inside diameter of the axial tubular region of the implant.
