To provide a delivery system capable of evaluating appropriate placement of an implant before released from a catheter.
A device for coupling to an object comprises a distal end 16, a first prong 15 and a second prong 15' respectively including a first end and a second end. The first prong and the second prong are connected at their respective first ends and their second ends are free. At least one second end of the prongs is movable between an open position and a close position. The second end of the first prong and the second end of the second prong define a slot at the distal end of the device in the close position to be coupled to the object. The second end of the first prong and the second end of the second prong are separate from each other in the open position, and the second end of the first prong and the second end of the second prong are closer to each other in the close position than in the open position.
