Abstract: Methods and systems for positioning a leadless pacing device (LPD) in cardiac tissue are disclosed. A delivery device is employed that comprises a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen therebetween sized to receive the LPD. The LPD has a leadlet extending therefrom that includes a means to fixate the leadlet to tissue. The delivery device comprises an introducer to introduce the LPD into the lumen of the delivery device. The LPD is loaded in the distal end of the lumen of the delivery device. The leadlet extends proximally from the LPD while the fixation means extends distally toward the LPD. A LPD mover is configured to advance the LPD out of the delivery device. A leadlet mover is configured to advance the leadlet out of the lumen delivery device and cause the leadlet to engage with cardiac tissue.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a passageway through tissue includes a dilator mounted to a shaft, wherein the dilator includes a first portion, which has an increasing taper from a first outer diameter to a larger second outer diameter, and a second portion, which has a decreasing taper from the first portion to a distal end of the dilator, and which includes an external non-cutting thread formed along the decreasing taper. Lumens of the dilator and shaft provide a conduit for means to pierce through the tissue, for example, an elongate wire that includes a piercing tip. In some cases, the dilator first portion is expandable to, and contractible from, the larger second outer diameter, wherein the apparatus may include a spreading member configured to slide between the shaft and the first portion. The apparatus may be included in a system with an introducer sheath.

Abstract: A catheter proximal section is preferably formed from a relatively soft part and a relatively rigid part, and includes a proximal terminal end that defines a perimeter of an opening into a lumen of the catheter. The proximal section may further include a feature for interlocking engagement with an accessory tool. An inner surface of each of the relatively soft and rigid parts may be located opposite one another, on either side of the catheter lumen. The relatively soft and rigid parts may be included in a sealing assembly that further includes an attachment feature for removable connection of the assembly to the proximal section catheter.

Abstract: A catheter assembly includes a pull wire and a control member subassembly, wherein the pull wire is secured to a post of the subassembly that may extend through a slot of a handle, and an engagement feature of the subassembly, being supported by an elastically deformable support of the subassembly resting on a railway of the handle, confronts a mating feature of the handle to interlock therewith, responsive to the support being un-deformed. The post, engagement feature, and support may be integrally formed together in a single-piece component, wherein the engagement feature may be one or two rows of teeth formed in a surface of an upper portion of the component, and the support may be a pair of flexible cantilever beam members of a lower portion of the component. Furthermore, the mating surface and railway may be integrally formed in an inner surface of a shell of the handle.

Abstract: A catheter for delivering a medical device to an implant site within a receptacle of a distal-most portion thereof, includes a coiled spring member, which has one or more proximal turns, secured to a shaft proximal portion, one or more distal turns, secured to the distal-most portion, and a plurality of open-pitch turns that extend between the proximal and distal turns and are, preferably, pre-loaded by longitudinal compression prior to forming a sheath thereover. A deflection assembly pull wire extends through a lumen of the shaft proximal portion and alongside the plurality of open-pitched turns of the spring member, wherein a pull wire proximal end extends proximally out from a proximal opening of the lumen of the proximal portion and into a handle of the catheter, for coupling to a control member subassembly, and a pull wire distal end is secured to the shaft distal-most portion.

Abstract: A proximal terminal end of a proximal section of a catheter, preferably tapered, defines a perimeter of an opening into a lumen of the catheter and includes an exposed sealing area. A sealing assembly, that may be removed from the catheter, includes a relatively soft part and a relatively rigid part, wherein the exposed sealing area is formed by the soft part, and the relatively rigid part may include an attachment feature for removable connection of the assembly to the catheter. The lumen of the catheter, within the proximal section, may include a seal zone portion, which preferably includes a slit segment intersecting a funnel-like segment of a bore. The catheter proximal section may further include a feature for interlocking engagement with an accessory tool.
