Disclosed herein are various exemplary systems, devices, and methods for inhibiting premature implant deployment. The delivery member can include a body including a lumen extending therethrough, the body including a compressed distal portion. The delivery member can include a pull wire extending through the lumen. The pull wire can include a pull wire portion that extends radially to abut a sidewall of the body to provide frictional resistance against the body. The pull wire can be positioned to secure the implantable medical device to the delivery member, and the pull wire portion can be effective to inhibit premature detachment of the implant by inhibiting proximal translation of the pull wire due to the frictional resistance provided by the pull wire portion against the body.
A delivery member for delivering an implantable medical device to a target location of a body vessel, the delivery member comprising:
A method comprising:
