Abstract: A tunneling tool for implanting a medical device into body tissue is described. The tunneling tool comprises a first leg and a second leg. An intermediate portion of the second leg is shaped to nest a medical device therein. A hub connects the first and second distal leg ends together. A sheath providing a lumen extends from the hub to an open end distal of the first and second legs. The first and second legs are manipulatable to separate the hub and the sheath into two portions, a first split portion connected to the first leg and a second split portion connected to the second leg. When a medical device is nested in the tunneling tool, breaking the tunneling tool apart enables the first and second split portions to be removed from body tissue, leaving the implanted medical device behind.

Abstract translation: 描述了用于将医疗装置植入身体组织的隧道工具。 隧道工具包括第一腿和第二腿。 第二腿的中间部分成形为将医疗装置嵌入其中。 轮毂将第一和第二远端腿端连接在一起。 提供内腔的护套从轮毂延伸到第一和第二腿的远端的开口端。 第一和第二腿是可操纵的以将轮毂和护套分成两部分，连接到第一腿的第一分割部分和连接到第二腿部的第二分割部分。 当医疗设备嵌套在隧道工具中时，将隧道工具分开使得能够从身体组织中移除第一和第二分割部分，留下植入的医疗设备。
