An assembly for positioning a medical device, comprising:
- a sleeve having a lumen configured to accept a medical device;
- and
- a tab including a distal portion and a proximal portion , the distal portion comprising a channel configured to receive a portion of the sleeve that does not include the medical device, the proximal portion comprising an outer surface;
- wherein the sleeve is positioned relative to the proximal portion so that severing the tab severs the sleeve.
A tab configured to assist in positioning a medical device, comprising:
- a distal portion defining a channel configured to receive a sleeve holding the medical device;
- and
- a substantially cylindrical proximal portion adjacent to the distal portion and configured such that severing the proximal portion along a length maintains the tab in one piece.
