Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to delivery devices, methods, and systems for delivering an implant to a target site. In one embodiment, a delivery device includes a core member defining a proximal end and a distal end and an outer winding defining a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the outer winding surrounds and is coupled to the core member. The outer winding extends at least partially between the proximal end of the core member and the distal end of the core member, and the outer winding is configured for displacement within a delivery catheter. The delivery device further includes a coupling member at the distal end of the core member configured to releasably attach to an implant.
