Abstract: A leadless pacing system includes a leadless pacing device and a sensing extension extending from a housing of the leadless pacing device. The sensing extension includes one or more electrodes with which the leadless pacing device may sense electrical cardiac activity. The one or more electrodes of the sensing extension may be carried by a self-supporting body that is configured to passively position the one or more electrodes proximate or within a chamber of the heart other than the chamber in which the LPD is implanted.

Abstract: A pacemaker has a housing and a therapy delivery circuit enclosed by the housing for generating pacing pulses for delivery to a patient's heart. An electrically insulative distal member is coupled directly to the housing and at least one non-tissue piercing cathode electrode is coupled directly to the insulative distal member. A tissue piercing electrode extends away from the housing.

Abstract: An implantable medical device has a housing having a proximal end, a distal end and an outer sidewall extending from the proximal end to the distal end. A fixation sheath includes a housing sheath portion extending along the outer sidewall of the housing, and a fixation member portion extending from the housing sheath portion. The housing sheath portion is advanceable from a first position along the outer sidewall of the housing in which the fixation member portion is retracted toward the proximal end of the housing to a second position along the outer sidewall of the housing in which the fixation member portion is deployed to extend away from the housing distal end for anchoring the implantable medical device at an implant site.

Abstract: A fixation mechanism of an implantable medical device is formed by a plurality of tines fixedly mounted around a perimeter of a distal end of the device. Each tine may be said to include a first segment fixedly attached to the device, a second segment extending from the first segment, and a third segment, to which the second segment extends. When the device is loaded in a lumen of a delivery tool and a rounded free distal end of each tine engages a sidewall that defines the lumen, to hold the tines in a spring-loaded condition, the first segment of each tine, which has a spring-biased pre-formed curvature, becomes relatively straightened, and the third segment of each tine, which is terminated by the free distal end, extends away from the axis of the device at an acute angle in a range from about 45 degrees to about 75 degrees.

Abstract: In an interventional medical system, a delivery catheter for deploying a medical device of the system has a tethering assembly that includes a tether line, a grip member, and a release member, wherein the tether line extends through a longitudinal lumen of a base of the release member and is coupled to a base of the grip member, and the release member has legs extending though apertures formed through the base of the grip member. The device may be tethered to the catheter such that a proximal end of the device is held within a cavity defined by a plurality of elastic fingers of the grip member that extend distally from the base thereof; and the device may be deployed from the catheter by moving the legs of the release member within the grip member cavity to push the proximal end of the device out from the cavity.

Abstract: A fixation member component, for example, employed by a relatively compact implantable medical device, includes a plurality of fingers; each finger includes a first segment extending from a fixed end of the corresponding finger, and a second segment extending from the corresponding first segment to a free end of the corresponding finger. Each first segment is elastically deformable from a relaxed to an extended condition, and from the relaxed to a compressed condition, and includes a peripheral portion and a central cut-out portion, framed by the peripheral portion. In the compressed condition, a free tip of the cut-out portion of some or all of the fingers may lodge against opposing tissue surfaces, via a spring force of the compressed fingers. Each second segment and cut-out portion is preferably configured to prevent penetration thereof within tissue at the implant site.
