1. A device for moving a sheath retraction line relative to a catheter through which it at least partially extends, the device comprising: a housing connectable to the catheter;a mover associated with the housing and connectable to the sheath retraction line for moving the sheath retraction line relative to the housing and relative to the connected catheter;a pre-mover for effecting a pre-movement adjustment of the sheath retraction line connected to the mover relative to the catheter connected to the housing, to reduce slack between the sheath retraction line and the catheter in preparation for moving the sheath retraction line with the mover, to ensure direct subsequent relative movement between the sheath retraction line and the catheter by the mover, the pre-mover being configured to become inoperable following pre-movement adjustment of the sheath retraction line, wherein the housing forms a sealed unit in which the mover and pre-mover are mounted to be actuated by a user; anda limiter for limiting the extent of movement of the sheath retraction line relative to the catheter, wherein the limiter comprises a band of substantially inextensible material which is connected at one end to, and is wound on, a spool which is mounted to the housing, the band being connected at the other end to a winding member of the mover onto which the band is wound from the spool as the mover moves the sheath retraction line, thereby permitting movement of the mover until the band is fully unwound from the spool and thereafter preventing further movement of the sheath retraction line by the mover. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the pre-mover resists movement of the sheath retraction line by the mover prior to adjusting the sheath retraction line. 3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the pre-mover is configured to adjust the mover relative to the housing so as to relatively adjust the sheath retraction line and the catheter respectively connected thereto. 4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the pre-mover is configured to effect a predetermined relative adjustment between the sheath retraction line and the catheter. 5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the mover is operable to move the sheath retraction line only in a first direction relative to the catheter, and wherein the mover moves the sheath retraction line toward the housing relative to the catheter, which is fixedly connected to the housing. 6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device further comprises an accumulator, by which the sheath retraction line is connectable to the mover and a portion of the sheath retraction line is formed as an accumulation in the housing. 7. The device according to claim 1, wherein the mover comprises a take-up reel mounted to rotate relative to the housing onto which the sheath retraction line is wound to effect movement thereof. 8. The device according to claim 1, wherein: the catheter is configured for insertion into a bodily lumen, and which includes a sheath which surrounds at least a distal end portion of the catheter; the sheath retraction line is a wire for moving the sheath relative to the catheter; and the housing is connectable to a proximal end of the catheter. 9. The device according to claim 1, wherein the mover includes an actuator by which a user of the device may actuate the mover to move the sheath retraction line. 10. The device according to claim 9, wherein the actuator including a trigger pivotally mounted to the housing to pivot between an extended position and a depressed position and configured to rotate a trigger gear by which to actuate the mover, the trigger including a planetary gear by which to rotate the trigger gear. 11. The device according to claim 10, wherein the trigger gear is coupled to a drive shaft of the mover by a one-way clutch so as to enable the trigger gear to rotate the drive shaft when depressed towards the depressed position but preventing the trigger gear from rotating the drive shaft when returned towards the extended position, the trigger being biased towards the extended position. 12. The device according to claim 1, wherein the mover includes: a toothed gear mounted to rotate relative to the housing; and a leaf spring fixedly mounted to the housing and arranged so that one end thereof engages with the teeth of the toothed gear at a non-radial angle of incidence to the gear, the leaf spring being resiliently flexible to disengage from the gear teeth and allow rotation of the toothed gear in one direction and to engage the gear teeth and substantially resist rotation of the gear in the other direction, so as to effect a ratchet arrangement to permit actuation of the mover to move the sheath retraction line only in one direction relative to the catheter. 13. The device according to claim 1, wherein the housing is sized and configured, and an actuator of the mover and of the pre-mover are arranged, so as to facilitate operation of the device with a single hand by a user. 14. A device for moving a sheath retraction line relative to a catheter through which it at least partially extends, the device comprising: a housing connectable to the catheter;a mover associated with the housing and connectable to the sheath retraction line for moving the sheath retraction line relative to the housing and relative to the connected catheter; anda pre-mover for effecting a pre-movement adjustment of the sheath retraction line connected to the mover relative to the catheter connected to the housing, to reduce slack between the sheath retraction line and the catheter in preparation for moving the sheath retraction line with the mover, to ensure direct subsequent relative movement between the sheath retraction line and the catheter by the mover, the pre-mover being configured to become inoperable following pre-movement adjustment of the sheath retraction line, wherein the housing forms a sealed unit in which the mover and pre-mover are mounted to be actuated by a user, wherein the pre-mover includes a rack gear configured to engage initially with a pinion gear of the mover, so that adjustment of the sheath retraction line relative to the catheter is effected by actuation of the rack gear to rotate the pinion gear of the mover. 15. The device according to claim 14, wherein the rack gear is mounted to a slider arm which is connected at one end to a button which is mounted to slide relative to the housing and is arranged to be actuated by a user to effect actuation of the rack gear. 16. A device for moving an elongate member by a predetermined distance relative to an elongate body through which it at least partially extends, thereby to release a stent at the distal end of the elongate body, the device comprising: a take-up reel onto which the elongate member is wound when it is moved; anda limiter that is configured to limit further rotation of the take-up reel after a length of the elongate member has been taken up on the reel to move the elongate member said pre-determined distance, wherein:the limiter comprises a tethered line, which is configured to be progressively consumed when the take-up reel is rotated until the tethered line anchors the take-up reel against further rotation,the tethered line to be consumed has a consumable length corresponding to the length of said elongate member to be taken up, and either: (i) a plurality of tether lines are provided having different respective consumable lengths, from which the tethered line to be consumed is selected having a consumable length which corresponds to the length of said elongate member to be taken up, or(ii) a tether line is provided having reference markings along its length indicating different consumable lengths corresponding to different lengths of said elongate member which can be taken up, the consumable length being set by the tether line being consumed, prior to moving the elongate member, up to the reference marking which indicates a remaining consumable length corresponding to the length of said elongate member to be taken up. 17. The device according to claim 16, wherein the tethered line is carried on a tether spool and is unspooled from the tether spool while being progressively consumed during rotation of the take-up reel. 18. The device according to claim 16, wherein the elongate body is a catheter and the elongate member is a sheath retraction wire for proximally retracting a sheath that surrounds the abluminal surface of the stent to be released at the catheter distal end.
