Claim 6:
7. The device of claim 6, wherein the sidewall openings extend distally beyond the distal end of each resilient finger of the plurality of resilient fingers disposed therein by a distance at least as great as the greater of the circumferential width of each resilient finger of the plurality of resilient disposed therein and 50% of a distance between the finger proximal and distal ends of each resilient finger of the plurality of resilient fingers disposed therein, and wherein each resilient finger of the plurality of resilient fingers is integrally formed with the sidewall whereby each resilient finger of the plurality of resilient fingers is flexibly coupled with the sidewall by a living hinge;
wherein, for each resilient finger of the plurality of resilient fingers, the proximal surfaces of the plurality of projections are all parallel and the distal surfaces of the plurality of projections are all parallel, and wherein, for each resilient finger of the plurality of resilient fingers, the distal surface of the distalmost projection of the plurality of projections on the resilient finger defines the distally facing engagement surface of the resilient finger; and
wherein, for each resilient finger of the plurality of resilient fingers, a radially outer limit defined by the distally facing engagement surface is disposed radially outwardly of the radially outwardly facing bottom wall of the recess disposed on the resilient finger.
