  • LEAD SYSTEM HAVING A NON-STATIONARY TO STATIONARY ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECT AND METHOD THEREFOR
    Publication number: 20130013046
    Abstract: A lead system has an elongate body, an active fixation assembly movable relative to the elongate lead body, including a non-stationary electrode. The lead system further includes a non-stationary electrode member and an electrical interconnect electrically connected between the non-stationary electrode member and the stationary electrode member. The electrical interconnect provides a reliable electrical interconnection between the stationary electrode and the non-stationary electrode, while allowing the non-stationary electrode to move relative to the stationary electrode.
    Type: Application

  • Lead system having friction mechanism and method therefor
    Patent number: 8055356
    Abstract: A lead system has an elongate body, an active fixation assembly movable relative to the elongate lead body, and a low variation friction member frictionally engaged with the active fixation assembly. In an option, the active fixation assembly undergoes greater torsional resistance as the active fixation assembly is moved in a direction to retract the lead.
