Abstract:
In various examples, a stimulation lead for at least partial implantation within a patient includes an elongate lead body and a sheath selectively attachable to the lead body. The sheath includes a fixation member. The fixation member includes a retracted configuration in which the fixation member is disposed proximate the sheath. In a deployed configuration, the fixation member extends radially outwardly from the sheath to anchor the stimulation lead within the patient. In a removal configuration, the fixation member is radially inwardly collapsible toward the longitudinal sheath axis with the lead body removed from within the sheath.
