    摘要: Electrical cardiac therapy devices including lead electrode assemblies for implantation into a patient comprising an electrode having a first face and a second face, and an appendage extending opposite the second face of the electrode, the appendage including an eyelet for securing an insertion device thereto. The assembly may further include an electrode frame assembly to which the appendage may be attached. Alternatively, the appendage may be formed as part of a molded electrode frame assembly. A backing piece may be provided between the electrode frame assembly and the electrode. The frame assembly may cover a portion of a front side of the electrode. Further embodiments include an electrode lead assembly including an appendage with an eyelet and an electrode insertion tool adapted to engage the eyelet. Another embodiment is a treatment kit including an electrode lead assembly having an appendage with an eyelet, an electrode insertion tool adapted to engage the eyelet, and an implantable housing having circuitry for providing electrical cardiac therapy.

    摘要: A subcutaneous cardiac device includes two electrodes and a stimulator that generates a pulse to the electrodes. The electrodes are implanted between the skin and the rib cage of the patient and are adapted to generate an electric field corresponding to the pulse, the electric field having a substantially uniform voltage gradient as it passes through the heart. The shapes, sizes, positions and structures of the electrodes are selected to optimize the voltage gradient of the electric field, and to minimize the energy dissipated by the electric field outside the heart. More specifically, the electrodes have contact surfaces that contact the patient tissues, said contact surfaces having a total contact area of less than 100 cm2. In one embodiment, one or both electrodes are physically separated from the stimulator. In another embodiment, a unitary housing holds the both electrodes and the stimulator. Sensor circuitry may also include in the stimulator for detecting intrinsic cardiac activity through the same electrodes.

    摘要: Electrical cardiac therapy devices including electrode lead assemblies having first and second insertion tool receivers. The insertion tool receivers may be attached to an electrode and/or an electrode cover assembly. A lead assembly having first and second insertion tool receivers may be used in conjunction with an insertion tool having means, such as tines, for coupling with the insertion tool receivers. A lead assembly system may include both an insertion tool and a lead assembly. A treatment system further includes an implantable housing along with the lead assembly and insertion tool.
