1. A device for loading a leadless pacemaker onto a catheter-based delivery system, wherein the leadless pacemaker includes an anchor operably coupled to a distal end of a housing and an attachment feature operably coupled to a proximal end of the housing, the device comprising:
a distal portion including a clip configured to receive the housing of the leadless pacemaker; and
a proximal portion proximal the distal portion and including a distally tapering funneling structure opening toward the clip.
