Publication number: 20240009453Abstract: A lead distal tip for a pacemaker includes a lead body including an insulated wire having a diameter of 2 French or less. The small size and flexibility of the lead distal tip and lead body reduce penetration and dislodgement risk for the lead distal tip. The lead distal tip can be delivered using a delivery catheter engaging with features on the lead distal tip to allow for the guidance and securement of the lead distal tip, despite its small and flexible nature. The attachment of the lead distal tip to heart tissue can be achieved by extending a linear member and/or a helical member from an end of the lead distal tip using features provided on the delivery catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2022Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Yongxing Zhang, Martin Tze, Scott Hayden, Ryan Bauer, Entao Liu

Publication number: 20230381502Abstract: A lead for cardiac conduction system includes a proximal end, a lead body extending from the proximal end, and a distal end extending from the lead body. The lead body includes a non-conductive spacer. The distal end includes a helix electrode distal to the spacer. The lead further includes a ring electrode proximal to the spacer and surrounding a portion of the lead body. The helix electrode includes a core disposed within a helical space of the helix electrode. Another lead for cardiac conduction system includes a proximal end, a lead body extending from the proximal end, and a distal end extending from the lead body. The distal end includes a first helix electrode extending from the lead body and a second helix electrode extending from the lead body. A tip of the first helix electrode is distal to a tip of the second helix electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2022Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Ryan Bauer, Scott Hayden, Yongxing Zhang, Martin Tze, Entao Liu, Lichuan Ping

Publication number: 20220249126Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes a shaft having a side catheter guide attached thereto via a guide coupler into an inferior vena cava and a superior vena cava such that the guide coupler is disposed in a right atrium, and applying a distal force to a proximal portion of the side catheter guide such that a distal end of the side catheter guide deflects laterally about the guide coupler towards a septum. The method further includes extending a side catheter that is disposed within the side catheter guide distally from the side catheter guide towards and into contact with the septum. The method further includes, with the side catheter in contact with the septum, extending a septum penetrator that is slidably disposed within the side catheter distally from the side catheter such that the septum penetrator pierces the septum.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicants: University of Maryland, Baltimore, University of Maryland Medical System LLC, Protaryx Medical Inc.Inventors: James S.
