Abstract

See full text

Medical devices and methods for making and using medical devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include a catheter shaft. The catheter shaft may include an inner member having a distal region and a deployment sheath disposed about the inner member. A stent may be disposed between along the distal region of the inner member. A handle may be coupled to the catheter shaft. An actuation mechanism may be coupled to the handle for proximally retracting the deployment sheath. The actuation mechanism may be designed to shift relative to the handle from a pre-deployment position, along an early deployment region, and along a full deployment region. The medical device may also include a force reduction member for applying a force to the actuation mechanism while the actuation mechanism is disposed along the early deployment region.
