摘要： An improved medical lead assembly and method of use is provided. The lead assembly includes a lead body, and a spring member positioned adjacent to the lead body. The spring member may be deployed a selectable amount to maintain the lead body in a fixed location within a patient's body. The spring member may be an expandable coil, a mesh structure that is similar to a stent, or any other similar device that may be positioned in a low-profile state during a lead implant procedure. After the lead is positioned at a target destination, the spring member may be deployed an amount that is selected based on the characteristics of the surrounding tissue, including vessel size. According to one aspect of the invention, the lead assembly may provide means for facilitating chronic lead extraction.

摘要： The disclosure teaches a new method of dental plaque removal and the structure of a brush bristle which enables the method most efficiently. A filament loop of contractable material such as polypropylene is caused to shrink as it is being attached to a base. The loop exhibits an extraordinary contraction wherein the loop is not merely reduced as expected, but by the process of this invention it contracts into tightly adjacent filaments with a tight return loop. The resulting bristle not only solves the vexing problem of proper bristle polishing, but as an unexpected additional value, exhibits a greatly improved capability to actually scoop away tooth deposits such as plaque.
