Interventional device assembly with anti-buckling system

An interventional device assembly, comprising:

• a first hub positioned along a drive table, the first hub comprising a proximal end and a distal end;
• an interventional device coupled to the first hub and extending distally therefrom;
• and
• a telescoping tube comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the telescoping tube being secured within an interior of the first hub between the proximal end of the first hub and the distal end of the first hub, the distal end of the telescoping tube being configured to secure to a second hub positioned along the drive table or a distal attachment coupled to the drive table;
• wherein at least a portion of the interventional device extends through the telescoping tube;
• wherein the telescoping tube comprises a plurality of concentric telescopically axially extendable and collapsible tube segments;
• wherein the plurality of tube segments comprise an outermost tube segment attached to a distal retainer;
• wherein the distal retainer is configured to releasably attach to the second hub or the distal attachment;
• and
• wherein the distal retainer is further configured to releasably attach to the first hub when the telescoping tube is detached from the second hub and is fully axially collapsed.
