A handle system of a delivery catheter for the deployment of prosthetic implants includes a first stationary portion, at least one guide rail secured to the first stationary portion and extending generally longitudinally with the handle system, and a generally cylindrical second rotating portion rotably connected to the first stationary portion. A sheath mount is secured to an outer sheath of the delivery catheter, and includes one or more bearing surfaces to engage with at least one of the one or more guide rails. Rotation of the second rotating portion longitudinally displaces the sheath mount by interaction with the sheath mount. Interaction may be by internal thread of the rotating portion and external thread of the sheath mount, or alternately by rotating one or more drive screws by turning the rotating portion, the drive screws interacting with through holes in the sheath mount configured to receive and engage the drive screws.
