The distal region (37) has a smaller diameter than the proximal region (34). A cable (90) is coupled to the distal region (37) of the core (32) and extends distally thereof. A torque tube (97) is positioned over the cable (90) and a coil (91) is positioned over a distal portion of the cable (90). A distal portion of the cable has a non-linear configuration. A first covering material is positioned over the coil (91).
