| abstract |
A delivery system includes an elongate shaft, a handle, a first clasp control member, a second clasp control member, and an actuator. The handle is connected to a proximal portion of the elongate shaft. The first and second clasp control members each extend into a distal portion of the elongate shaft, through at least a portion of the elongate shaft, out of the proximal portion of the elongate shaft, and through the handle. The actuator is coupled to the handle and has a first side portion connected to the first clasp control and a second side portion connected to the second clasp control. The first side portion and the second side portion are releasably couplable such that when the first side portion and the second side portion are coupled, proximal movement of the actuator proximally pulls both the first clasp control member and the second clasp control member, and such that when the first side portion and the second side portion are uncoupled, individual proximal movements of the first side portion and the second side portion independently pull the first clasp control member and the second clasp control member, respectively. |
