    摘要: An implantable lead having a distal assembly including a coupler, a fixation helix secured to the coupler, a housing in which the fixation helix and the coupler are disposed, and a resilient seal that is fixedly secured to the coupler between proximal and distal ends thereof and able to translate with the coupler relative to the housing. The seal is positioned to sealingly engage an internal surface of the housing. When the coupler is translated such that the fixation helix is in a fully extended position, the seal is positioned to substantially seal off the housing to prevent tissue ingrowth.

    摘要: An implantable defibrillation electrode including a conductive distal end portion and a non-conductive proximal end portion is provided with at least a major portion of the length of the distal end portion having a pre-configured shape and being resiliently deformable into a generally straight condition. The distal end portion includes distal and proximal ends and at least one of those ends is hollow and has hook structure shiftably supported therein for movement longitudinally thereof from a retracted position at least substantially contained within the hollow end and an extended position at least substantially fully outwardly projected from the hollow end. Spring structure is provided for yieldingly biasing the hook structure from the extended position toward the retracted position and axial thrust developing structure is slidingly telescoped through the proximal end portion and operatively associated with the hook structure for exerting an axial thrust thereon from the terminal end of the proximal end portion in order to effect shifting of the hook structure from the retracted position to the extended position.

    摘要: A defibrillation electrode for implantation on or about the heart and for connection to a defibrillation system. The electrode comprises a plurality of electrically conductive elements spaced apart and electrically connected together, thus, increasing the number of discharging edges on the electrode. In a first embodiment, the electrode comprises a plurality of concentric conductive rings electrically connected together. In a second embodiment, electrode comprises a plurality of conductive planar elements electrically connected together in a generally puzzle-like configuration. In a third embodiment, the electrode comprises electrically conductive wires wrapped around the length of a cardiac catheter. In a fourth embodiment, electrically conductive wires are concentrically spiralled into a spiral patch configuration. In a fifth specific embodiment, a plurality of electrically isolated active sites are provided on the distal portion of an endocardial catheter. In all of the above embodiments, the electrical discharge of energy from the electrode to the heart surface favors the conductive edges of the electrically conductive and connected components of the electrodes. Therefore, by increasing the number of conductive edges, a more uniform distribution of energy is delivered to the heart. Furthermore, each of the electrode configurations may be constructed without an insulative backing to further increase the efficiency of discharge.

    摘要: An implantable cardiac electrode for use in defibrillation. The electrode comprises a plurality of layers of porous conductive screens and backed by an insulation layer. When implanted on or about the heart surface, body fluids can flow through the screens thus increasing the effective surface area of contact. Each individual layer of mesh can be microscopically textured to create indentations on the layer for further increasing the surface area of each screen, and thus, the surface area of body fluid contact. Also disclosed is an electrode without an insulative backing facing away from the heart.
