Assembly for the placement of a medical implant, wire and catheter

Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly for introducing a medical implant into a hollow body organ, comprising a wire (10) and a tubular, compressible and expandable medical implant (11), wherein the implant (11), in the compressed state, is releasably connected to the wire (10) by at least one coupling element (12) for transmitting force in the axial direction, wherein the coupling element (12) has at least one outwardly extending radial projection (13) that engages with the implant (11), and wherein the implant (11), in the at least partially expanded state, can be released by relative movement between the coupling element (12) and the implant (11) in a release direction.characterized in that the coupling element (12) has at least one sliding surface (14) that is inclined and / or curved in the release direction and that interacts with the projection (13) to release the implant.
