Abstract
The present embodiments provide delivery systems. In one embodiment, the delivery system includes a cannula having proximal and distal regions and a lumen extending therebetween. An atraumatic tip is coupled to the proximal region of the cannula. A proximal region of a housing component is disposed at least partially within a cavity of the atraumatic tip and secured to the atraumatic tip, and a distal region of the housing component extends at least partially distally beyond the atraumatic tip. A proximal region of a trigger wire is housed within the distal region of the housing component in a delivery state.
