The present invention provides a braided coil catheter to delivery of a vascular implant through a catheter including a braided coil adapted to at least partially retain a vascular implant comprising a braided coil distal tip, a braided coil proximal end connected by a braided coil body having a lumen with a lumen diameter a friction plug comprising a proximal friction plug end, a distal friction plug end connected by a friction plug body with a friction plug diameter greater than the lumen diameter to frictionally fit into the lumen of the braided coil distal tip a vascular implant having an implant mating end, an implant non-mating end connected by an implant body wherein the implant mating end is connected to the distal friction plug end and a pusher catheter inserted into the lumen and to contact the proximal friction plug end and force the friction plug from the lumen.
