Patent number: 11596435Abstract: Methods and systems for separating an object, such as a lead, from formed tissue are provided. Specifically, a tissue slitting device is configured to engage patient formed tissue at a slitting engagement point. While the object is subjected to a first traction force, the tissue slitting device is caused to move further into the engaged tissue and slit the tissue past the point of engagement. The slitting device causes the tissue to separate along an axial direction of the length of the formed tissue and releases at least some of the force containing the object. The methods and systems are well suited for use in cardiac pacing or defibrillator lead explant procedures.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2018Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: SPECRTRANETICS LLCInventors: Wade A. Bowe, George Woodrow Burton, Paul Joseph Dalby, Ryan Michael Sotak
