Abstract
A method of assembling an apparatus for delivering an implant to a deployment site in a patient's vasculature, includes: positioning an implant engagement member at least partially within a lumen of a tubular structure, the tubular structure having a sidewall comprising a pattern of wires or struts; heating the implant engagement member; pressing at least a portion of the sidewall of the tubular structure radially inward into a surface of the implant engagement member so that the wires or the struts of the sidewall penetrate into the surface and create corresponding recesses therein; and after the recesses are created in the surface of the implant engagement member, hardening the implant engagement member.
