1. A delivery system for delivering a leadless pacemaker, the delivery system comprising:
a catheter including a distal end, a proximal end opposite the distal end, a lumen extending between the distal end and the proximal end, and a locking hub operably coupled to the proximal end, the locking hub comprising a seal element including a lumen segment of the lumen,
wherein self-biasing of the locking hub compresses the seal element, thereby reducing a diameter of the lumen segment, and
wherein actuation of the locking hub reduces the compression of the seal element thereby expanding the diameter of the lumen segment.
