1. A medical device delivery system comprising:
- an elongate tubular member comprising a circumferential wall and having first proximal and distal ends, the elongate tubular member defining a passageway extending between the first proximal and distal ends and having a protrusion disposed on an inner surface at the distal end;
a distal tip member slidably disposed within the first passageway and having proximal and distal portions, the proximal portion defining a mounting region;
a distal protection device disposed on the distal portion of the distal tip member; and
a self-expandable intraluminal medical device disposed on the mounting region of the distal tip member.

Abstract
Medical device delivery systems that include a distal protection feature are provided. A distal tip member that includes a distal protection device and a mounting region for a self-expandable, intraluminal medical device is slidably disposed within a passageway defined by a tubular member.

21. A medical device delivery system, comprising:
-
an elongate tubular member comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a circumferential wall extending between the proximal and distal ends, the elongate tubular member defining an exchange port, a wireguide lumen extending between the exchange port and the distal end, a distal cavity, and having a protrusion disposed on an inner surface at the distal end;
a distal tip member slidably disposed within the distal cavity and having separable proximal and distal portions, the proximal portion including second proximal and distal ends and defining a mounting region between the second proximal and distal ends;
a distal flange disposed on the second distal end and adapted to temporarily engage the protrusion;
a proximal flange disposed on the second proximal end and adapted to engage the protrusion to substantially prevent distally directed axial movement of the distal tip member;
a distal protection device disposed on the distal portion of the distal tip member; and
a self-expandable intraluminal medical device disposed on the mounting region of the distal tip member. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
