1. A system for delivering an implantable device, comprising:
an implant;
a delivery device comprising a first elongate member having an inner lumen, an elongate grasper member slidable within the inner lumen comprising a recess for holding a proximal portion of an implant, and a distal control member comprising a recess for holding a distal portion of the implant; and
a proximal control device coupled with a proximal end region of the delivery device, the proximal control device comprising a user actuator, a housing, and a switch, wherein placement of the switch in a first position translates movement of the user actuator into movement of the implant in a first direction and placement of the switch in a second position translates the movement of the user actuator into movement of the implant in a second direction.
