Abstract
Embodiments of a nosecone for a transcatheter delivery apparatus are disclosed. The nosecone can include a distal portion and a proximal portion. A longitudinal axis can extend from a distal end of the distal portion to a proximal end of the proximal portion. The proximal portion can have a shoulder region adjacent the distal portion of the nosecone and a body region proximal to the shoulder region. An outer surface of the nosecone can have a cross-sectional profile taken along the longitudinal axis of the nosecone. The cross-sectional profile of the body region can have a convex shape when viewed from a centroid of the body region.
