Abstract

A prosthesis delivery handle with a bushing (66) with two adjacent internal threads (64, 74) with different diameters and pitch surrounding a tubular threaded first shaft member (36) cooperating with the first thread (64) and a second inner member with a protrusion (82) extending through an axial slot in the tubular first member such that the protrusion runs in the second thread (74). First and second members are connected to an external shaft (112) and an internal element (102) so that when the bushing is rotated first and second members travel axially with different speeds the internal shaft and an external shaft move accordingly.
