Abstract

The apparatus includes and elongate body (36) having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The body includes a cavity sized to contain a cardiac harness (42) in a compacted configuration and also includes a plurality of elongate push rods (40) movable with respect to the body. The cardiac harness is releasably connected to each of the push rods such that advancement of the push rods in a distal direction moves the harness from a compacted configuration, within the cavity, to an expanded configuration, outside the cavity. The apparatus also includes a releasing member (38) for releasing the connections between the push rods and the harness upon actuation of the releasing member by a user.
