In one example, this disclosure includes a kit for implanting an implantable medical device within a patient. The kit comprises a delivery catheter including an inner member and an outer member. The kit further comprises the implantable medical device. The implantable medical device is adjacent the inner member and constrained by the outer member. The kit further comprises a force sensor in mechanical communication with the implantable medical device via the inner member. The force sensor collects force feedback data representing force applied by the inner member on the implantable medical device. The kit further comprises a user communication module configured to deliver force feedback information corresponding to the force feedback data collected by the force sensor to a user. |
