Abstract
The present invention relates to a prosthesis delivery device and to a handle assembly located at the distal end of the delivery device. The handle assembly has a main handle and a nut disposed on the main handle. The nut has a first configuration in which the nut is engaged with the outer surface of the main handle and a second configuration in which the nut is disengaged from the outer surface of the main handle. Disengaging the nut from the main handle facilitates quick sheath retraction and deployment of at least the distal end of the prosthesis as well as recapturing the proximal end of the device within the sheath.
