A delivery device for delivering an implantable endoprosthesis with an occlusion
region for occluding fluid flow to a desired location in a body lumen. The delivery
device includes an outer sleeve and an inner tube terminating at a distal tip.
The distal tip is made of one of a dissolvable, bioabsorbable, or deformable material.
Upon deployment of the endoprosthesis at the desired location, the shape of the
distal tip is altered to a different shape and withdrawn through the constricted
region of the endoprosthesis.
