Upon release from the fixation tool, the fixation device returns to its initial shape and stably secures the position of the implantable medical device. | 08-28-2008 |
20080208303 | IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM WITH FIXATION MEMBER - A fixation device for a subcutaneous implantable medical device includes a deformable tip portion that reduces in width when coupled with a fixation tool such that implantation of the implantable medical device through tissue is facilitated. Upon release from the fixation tool, the fixation device returns to its initial shape and stably secures the position of the implantable medical device. | 08-28-2008 |
20080208339 | IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM WITH FIXATION MEMBER - A fixation device for a subcutaneous implantable medical device includes a deformable tip portion that reduces in width when coupled with a fixation tool such that implantation of the implantable medical device through tissue is facilitated. Upon release from the fixation tool, the fixation device returns to its initial shape and stably secures the position of the implantable medical device. | 08-28-2008 |
20080319503 | BIPOLAR LEAD CONTAINING HV AND LV SIGNAL CAPABILITY - An implantable medical device system includes a medical electrical lead having a connector assembly and a connector bore for receiving the lead connector assembly. The lead includes a distal portion having a first outer diameter and a distal sealing member, an intermediate portion having a second outer diameter smaller than the first outer diameter, and a connector pin extending from the intermediate portion, the connector pin having an outer diameter corresponding to a DF-1 standard. | 12-25-2008 |
20100030291 | SUBCUTANEOUS IMPLANTABLE LEAD - A subcutaneous implantable device is provided that includes a defibrillation electrode disposed along a portion of a lead, and a lead tip connected to the lead. The lead tip includes a trailing end coupled to a distal end of the lead, and first and second non-parallel sides extending from the trailing end that converge to a leading end that is configured to wedge between tissue layers as the lead is advanced subcutaneously. | 02-04-2010 |
20100030311 | SUBCUTANEOUSLY IMPLANTABLE LEAD INCLUDING DISTAL FIXATION MECHANISM - A subcutaneously implantable lead includes a coil disposed along a portion of the lead, and a lead tip coupled to a distal end of the lead. The lead tip includes at least one component that is movable relative to the distal end of the lead and configured to anchor the lead tip in subcutaneous tissue. | 02-04-2010 |
20100076509 | Means for Augmenting Medical Electrical Systems - A medical electrical system includes a device including a connector port and an external electrically active surface and an auxiliary lead including a supplemental electrode and a connector end. The external electrically active surface of the device is adapted to receive the auxiliary lead connector end, thereby electrically coupling the supplemental electrode to the device via contact between the connector end and the external surface. | 03-25-2010 |
20100113963 | IMPEDANCE GUIDED TUNNELING TOOL - A system includes a first electrode at a tip of a tunneling tool and a second electrode. The system includes a circuit configured to determine whether the tip of the tunneling tool is within subcutaneous fat tissue or muscle tissue of a patient based on a measurement of an impedance between the first electrode and the second electrode. | 05-06-2010 |
20110024186 | LEAD APPARATUS - A lead including one or more electrodes (e.g., electrodes, such as those having circuitry associated therewith). | 02-03-2011 |
20110125163 | IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM WITH FIXATION MEMBER - A fixation device for a subcutaneous implantable medical device includes a deformable tip portion that reduces in width when coupled with a fixation tool such that implantation of the implantable medical device through tissue is facilitated. Upon release from the fixation tool, the fixation device returns to its initial shape and stably secures the position of the implantable medical device. | 05-26-2011 |
20140316429 | IMPEDANCE GUIDED TUNNELING TOOL - A system includes a first electrode at a tip of a tunneling tool and a second electrode. The system includes a circuit configured to determine whether the tip of the tunneling tool is within subcutaneous fat tissue or muscle tissue of a patient based on a measurement of an impedance between the first electrode and the second electrode. | 10-23-2014 |
