Abstract
An intravascular device having an elongate shaft and a proximal hub assembly. The proximal hub assembly includes an interference fit member (IFM) which forms an interference fit with a carrier tube to reduce the tendency of the device to fall out of the carrier tube during handling and to provide for easy removal of the device when ready for use.
