Abstract
An inner catheter for deployment of a medical device can include a pusher band having a passage that includes a first portion extending from a first end to a position and a second portion extending from a second end to the position. A cross-sectional area of the second portion can be less than a cross-sectional area of the first portion to form a step. A second end of the first tubular member having first and second ends can be within the first portion of the pusher band, abut the step and be unable to pass through the second portion. A portion of a second tubular member having first and second ends can be within the pusher band, and the second end of the second tubular member can extend away from the second end of the pusher band and be configured to extend through a medical device.
