The invention is intended for use in
medicine and enables maximally precise, quick and safe positioning of a
coronary stent in the case of uncomplicated and complicated anatomical injuries of the coronary vascular
bed, and also when stenting renal and visceral arteries. The claimed device consists of a body with a
tail portion, a wheel for rotating a screw, a screw, a slider with threaded elementsand a scale for identifying the position of the slider and a resilient tensioning member with elastic locking members disposed thereon, a wedge piece consisting of two elements, a spring and a lock button, arranged inside the body. When preparing the device for use, the
coronary stent is first inserted on a
delivery system into the device; the
coronary stent is then manually manoeuvred on the
delivery system to the injured site of the coronary
artery, the
delivery system is locked in the device, and the
stent is positioned in the coronary
artery using the rotation wheel. A second embodiment of the device consists of a body with a
tail portion, a wheel for rotating a screw, a screw, rotating gears, a clamping cylinder, and a lock button with springs for accommodating guides for a deliverysystem inside the body. When preparing the device for use, the coronary
stent is first inserted on a delivery
system into the device; the coronary
stent is then manually manoeuvred on the delivery
system to the injured site of the coronary
artery, the delivery
system is locked in the device, and the stent is positioned in the coronary artery using the rotation wheel.
