Publication number: 20250152953Abstract: Disclosed is a delivery system for a component, for example, a splitting lead. A splitting lead can have a proximal portion to engage a controller and a distal portion to split apart into sub-portions that travel in multiple directions during implantation into a patient. The delivery system can include a handle and a component advancer to advance and removably engage a portion of the component. The component advancer can be coupled to the handle and advance the component into the patient by applying a force to the portion in response to actuation of the handle by the operator. Also, the delivery system can include an insertion tip with first and second ramps to facilitate advancement of first and second sub-portions into the patient in first and second directions. The leads may have various electrode configurations including, for example, wrapped or embedded electrodes, helical or elliptical coils, thin metallic plates, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2025Publication date: May 15, 2025Applicant: ATACOR MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Rick Sanghera, Brent Cadavona, Matthew Rollins, Tim Searfoss, Brian Walguarnery, Michel Gelineau

Publication number: 20240042197Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and computer software for delivering electrical stimulation to biological tissue are described. In some implementations, an electrical lead for implantation in a patient can include a distal portion with electrodes that are configured to generate therapeutic energy for biological tissue of the patient, such as the heart or pericardium. The distal portion can include an electrode extension having a tip electrode, the electrode extension configured to facilitate contact of the tip electrode with biological tissue of the patient when the lead is in a deployed configuration. A distal part of the lead can be configured to include a heel portion, a bend in a proximal part, and/or a bend in a distal part, to facilitate contact of an electrode located on the heel portion with biological tissue of the patient when the lead is in a deployed configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: ATACOR MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Rick SANGHERA, Matthew ROLLINS, Brent CADAVONA, Rahul VEETEKAT, Sterling ERICKSON, Alan MARCOVECCHIO, Jonathan FREUND, John BECK, William BORN, Alex GUSTAFSON, Jesse SCHMIDT
