ABSTRACT:
A delivery system that allows a physician to deploy a medical device and refract both the catheter and delivery device while keeping the device connected to a safety tether. The tether is thin and extremely flexible, so it does not distort the tissue. The tether allows the physician to observe the placement of the medical device without having fully released the medical device and without tissue contortion caused by the stiffer catheter and delivery device. In addition, the device is easily retrievable if it is not positioned properly because it has not been fully released. This system also comprises a coupler which connects the medical device to the delivery device.
