  • IMPLANT TOOL FOR CARDIAC LEADS
    Publication number: 20250108206
    Abstract: A tool for implanting a medical lead includes a body having distal region including a distal end, a proximal region including a proximal end, a central axis extending from the distal end to the proximal end, and a midpoint between the distal end and the proximal end. The distal region includes a rounded tip, and a distal lip surrounding a distal opening leading to a distal cavity dimensioned to receive and frictionally engage a connector component of the implantable lead. The proximal region includes a proximal lip surrounding a proximal opening leading to a proximal cavity. A chamber is located between the distal cavity and the proximal cavity. The tool includes a first window. A pair of resilient arms define at least a portion of the chamber and configured to frictionally engage a terminal pin of the implantable lead. The first window, chamber, and pair of resilient arms are located distal of the midpoint.
