A control cable mechanism for use with an implant delivery system is disclosed. The system comprises a wire having a distal end and a proximal end, a sheath surrounding said wire. A slide is movable between a distal position and a proximal position. A recess is sized to receive a component of a medical implant. A mouth has a slot shaped such that in a closed position, the recess and the slot combine to form a closed transverse passage in which the component is trapped. In an open position, a hook portion extends distally from the mouth such that an implant is released from the recess.
