    摘要: A stent device delivery system, comprising:
    a stent device, and
    an outer sheath overlaying the stent device in a radially compact, delivery configuration of the stent device;
    the outer sheath is retractable to allow the stent device to radially expand to a deployed configuration;
    a pull member for pulling proximally on to retract the outer sheath;
    wherein a portion of the outer sheath is heat shrunk radially onto a relatively heat shrink resistant support member in order to capture a distal portion of the pull member radially between the outer sheath and the heat shrink resistant support member,
    wherein the outer sheath comprises an inner layer, an outer layer and a fold-over portion connecting the inner layer and the outer layer, the fold-over portion is axially movable relative to the stent device by moving the inner layer relative to the outer layer, thereby allowing the outer sheath to be retracted from the stent device and the outer layer is heat shrunk onto the heat shrink resistant support member to capture the pull member.
