Abstract
A delivery device configured for delivering a cardiac harness onto the heart is disclosed. The device includes a plurality of push rods, a housing, and a control mechanism. The device also includes a method of pulling a cardiac harness onto a heart. The method includes inserting the delivery device through a minimally invasive incision sized to receive the housing. The housing is advanced through the incision so that the housing is adjacent the heart and advanced distally out of the housing by advancing the control assembly distally over a shaft. The housing mounts the cardiac harness on the heart and releases the harness from the push rods.
