A biostimulator transport system, such as a biostimulator delivery system, having a swaged torque shaft, is described. The torque shaft includes an outer cable coaxially arranged with an inner coil. The inner coil has a single wire coil extending around a central axis in a first helical direction, and the outer cable has several outer strands that extend around the central axis in a second helical direction that is different than the first helical direction. The outer cable can be swaged to form a close fit to the inner coil. The close fit of the swaged coaxial torque shaft structure can track to a target site through tortuous vessels and efficiently transfer torque from a handle to a docking cap of the biostimulator transport system to drive a biostimulator into the target site. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
