A delivery system.(114) for a self-expanding device (110) for placement in a bodily lumen, the system comprising a sheath (112) that confines the device to a radially compact delivery disposition until the device is to be released into the lumen, the system having an elongate pull element (118) to be pulled proximally from its proximal end, which pull element is arranged radially inside the sheath for pulling preferentially on a pull zone on the circumference of the distal end of the sheath, thereby to tear the sheath progressively along a tear line running the length of the sheath, starting at the distal end of the sheath, to release the device from the confining effect of the sheath, progressively, beginning at the distal end of the device and wherein the sheath is of polyethylene- terephthalate, cold drawn along its long axis, and in that the distal end of the sheath tapers inwardly to provide an inwardly tapered distal end of the system.

L'invention concerne un système de fourniture (114) d'un dispositif auto-expansible (110) pour sa pose dans une lumière corporelle, le système comprenant une gaine (112) qui renferme le dispositif dans une configuration de fourniture radialement compacte jusqu'à l'introduction du dispositif dans la lumière. Le système comporte un élément de traction allongé (118) devant être tiré dans la direction proximale par son extrémité proximale, cet élément de traction étant disposé radialement à l'intérieur de la gaine afin de tirer préférentiellement sur une zone de traction sur la périphérie de l'extrémité distale de la gaine, pour déchirer ainsi progressivement la gaine le long d'une ligne de rupture qui s'étend sur la longueur de la gaine, depuis l'extrémité distale de la gaine, afin de ne plus soumettre le dispositif de l'effet de confinement exercé par la gaine, progressivement, en commençant à l'extrémité distale du dispositif. La gaine est en polyéthylène téréphtalate, étirée à froid le long de son axe longitudinal, l'extrémité distale de la gaine s'amincit vers l'avant afin de fournir une extrémité distale conique au système.
