A delivery system for an embolic coil including a delivery tube having alumen. Aproximal coil junction is disposed between the delivery tube and the emboliccoil.Insertable through the lumen and extending proximally beyond the proximal endof thedelivery tube is a detachable wire with a terminating feature disposed on itsdistal end.At least one stretch resistant member is disposed within a lumen formed by theemboliccoil. A distal end of each of the at least one stretch resistant members issecured to adistal end of the embolic coil, while each of the at least one stretchresistant members isalso secured proximate the proximal end of the embolic coil. The distal end ofthedelivery tube is retained by the wire physically against without beingattached in any wayto the proximal junction.
