Abstract
A delivery system for implanting a medical device comprises a delivery catheter having an inner lumen, a mandrel received in the inner lumen of the delivery catheter and movable with respect to the delivery catheter, and an adapter piece connected to the mandrel, wherein the adapter piece, by moving the mandrel with respect to the delivery catheter, is displaceable between a first position in which the adapter piece is received within the inner lumen of the delivery catheter and a second position in which the adapter piece is arranged outside of the inner lumen of the delivery catheter. A tethering member comprises a positive-locking member adjoining a tether portion, wherein the positive-locking member in a connection state is received on the adapter piece, but is releasable from the adapter piece by displacing the adapter piece from the first position towards the second position.
