Abstract
A delivery system for delivering and mounting a cardiac harness on a heart including an elongate body having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The body includes a cavity sized to contain the cardiac harness in a compacted configuration and also includes a plurality of elongate push rods movable with respect to the body. The cardiac harness is releasably connected to the push rods such that, advancement of the push rods in a distal direction moves the cardiac harness from a compacted configuration, within the cavity, to an expanded configuration, outside the cavity. The push rods are configured to have varying stiffness along their length to provide sufficient flexibility to bend up to 90.degree. to advance the cardiac harness onto the heart.
