    Abstract: This disclosure provides tools and implant techniques utilizing such tools to gain access to and implant a medical device, such as a medical electrical lead, within extravascular spaces. In one example, this disclosure provides a tool for creating a sub-sternal tunnel in a patient. The tool comprises a relatively straight guide member extending from a first end thereof to a second end thereof, a tunneling member extending from a first end thereof to a tip thereof, the tunneling member extending alongside and coplanar with the guide member, the first end of the tunneling member and the first end of the guide member being joined together, and a handle coupled to the guide member.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides various embodiments of implant tools and implant techniques utilizing those tools to implant components within extravascular locations. In one example, an implant tool for implanting a component within an extravascular location of a patient comprise a handle and a shaft adjacent the handle. The shaft has a proximal end, a distal end, and a body formed to define an open channel that extends from near the proximal end to the distal end. The open channel has a first width. The body has at least one flexible portion that defines an opening via which the open channel is accessed. The opening has a second width that is less than the first width. In another example, a sheath with an opening having the second width may be placed on the shaft of the implant tool instead of the implant tool having the at least one flexible portion.

    Abstract: Extravascular implant tools that utilize a bore-in mechanism to safely access extravascular locations and implant techniques utilizing these tools are described. The bore-in mechanism may include a handle and a helix extending from the handle. The bore-in mechanism is used, for example, in conjunction with a tunneling tool to traverse the diaphragmatic attachments to access a substernal location. The tunneling tool may be an open channel tunneling tool or a conventional tunneling tool (e.g., metal rod).

    Abstract: This disclosure describes various tools and associated methods suitable for gaining access to extravascular spaces. The various tools and associated methods utilize a boring tip that may rotate to aid in safely and effectively crossing diaphragmatic attachments. The boring tip may, in some instances not have any sharp edge. For example, the boring tip may have a dome shape but including at least one surface recessed and offset from a summit of the dome shape. Various mechanisms may be used to control rotation of the boring tip as described herein.
