  • Patent number: 9814562
    Abstract: Various features are described that are adapted to improve performance of interference-relief type delivery systems. A delivery system provided herein comprises an implant comprising a socket at a proximal end of the implant; an elongate sleeve having (i) a proximal section, (ii) a distal section slidably disposed within the socket, and (iii) a window between the proximal section and the distal section, the window extending through a wall of the sleeve; and a core member having a proximal portion slidably received within the proximal section of the sleeve and a distal portion extending through the window to a space outside the sleeve and within the socket. The distal portion of the core member provides an interference fit with the distal section of the sleeve within the socket until the core member is withdrawn.
