The body portion includes a first configuration in which the lumen is linear, the body portion in the first configuration being configured to receive the therapy delivery element within the lumen. The body portion also includes a second configuration in which the lumen is non-linear, wherein the lumen of the body portion in the second configuration frictionally engages the therapy delivery element.
