    摘要: An implant tool system includes an implantable medical lead and a delivery catheter. The implantable medical lead is configured to be delivered through an access point on a body of a patient. The delivery catheter is configured to deliver the implantable medical lead along an implantation path in the body of the patient. A visual marker is positioned on a body of the implantable medical lead. The visual marker is positioned proximal a distal end of the implantable medical lead by a distance indicative of a length of lead to introduce into the body of the patient. The visual marker may be positioned such that introduction of the length of lead into the body of the patient provides lead slack that reduces the likelihood of one or more of dislodgment of the implantable medical lead from the implant point or damage to a tissue of the patient.
