A delivery device for an implantable medical device includes an inner shaft extending in a longitudinal direction and an outer shaft surrounding at least a longitudinal portion of the inner shaft. The outer shaft is slidable relative to the inner shaft in the longitudinal direction. A sheath surrounds a longitudinal portion of the outer shaft, the sheath having an outer diameter and being slidable in the longitudinal direction between a first position enclosing the medical device and a second position exposing the medical device to permit full functionality of the medical device. A retaining cage is coupled to the outer shaft, the retaining cage being configured and arrange to collapse the medical device during resheathing.
