Patent abstract
A self-expanding stent delivery apparatus having a sheath comprising a hard and lubricious coating for the safe, effective and accurate deployment of self-expanding stents. The sheath comprises an inner layer of pyrolytic carbon or other similar substance which prevents the stent from becoming embedded. The inner layer is also lubricious. This combination of properties allows for easier deployment and reduced profile.
