Abstract
A delivery device for cardiac valve repair implants includes a delivery catheter and an extension member protruding from a distal end of the delivery catheter. The delivery device further includes a control arm assembly having pairs of control arms. Each pair includes a proximal control arm drivable from a handle assembly of the delivery device and a distal arm coupled to a distal end of the proximal control arm and a distal end of the extension member. Proximally driving each of the proximal control arms of the control arm assembly results in expansion of the control arm assembly and corresponding expansion of a cardiac valve repair implant coupled to the control arm assembly.
