  • Helix retraction assist mechanism
    Patent number: 8532792
    Abstract: An active fixation implantable medical lead may include an electrode base that is configured to accommodate an extraction stylet that may be used if the fixation helix is not otherwise easily retracted. An extraction tool may be used in combination with the extraction stylet in extraction techniques designed for retraction of a fixation helix.
    Type: Grant

  • LEAD HAVING COIL ELECTRODE WITH PREFERENTIAL BENDING REGION
    Publication number: 20120004714
    Abstract: An implantable lead may have a distal shocking coil that is configured to include a predetermined buckle region in order to limit potential cardiac damage that might otherwise occur if the implantable lead is too stiff. An implantable lead may have a proximal shocking coil that is configured to have a flexibility that more closely matches the flexibility of the lead body on either side of the proximal shocking coil.
