  • an outer sheath for insertion into a body defining a lumen and including a proximal end, a distal end, and a distal tip zone at a distal end of the system, the distal tip zone being contiguous with and affixed to the distal end of the sheath, the distal tip zone tapering radially inwardly and including a stretch zone; and

    an inner shaft being at least partially disposed in the lumen and including a marker band initially disposed within the lumen, wherein an outside diameter of the inner shaft distal the marker band is less than an outside diameter of the inner shaft proximal the marker band,wherein the distal tip zone is configured and attached to the distal end of the sheath such that proximally withdrawing the distal end of the sheath over a stent proximally withdraws the distal tip zone over the stent.
