Abstract:
An implantable medical device (IMD) includes a body, a fixation component, and an interface assembly. The body extends from a proximal portion to a distal portion along a longitudinal axis. The fixation component includes a penetrator tine. The penetrator tine includes an incisive distal end configured to penetrate a tissue to fix the IMD to the tissue. The electrode interface assembly includes a proximal section and a distal section. The proximal section is attached to and extends distally from the distal portion of the body along the longitudinal axis. The distal section extends from the proximal section of the electrode interface assembly and defines a non-incisive distal end. The distal end of the electrode interface assembly is configured to contact the tissue to control a depth of tissue penetration of the penetrator tine.
