摘要: Disclosed herein is a screw-in lead implantable in the pericardium of a patient heart and a system for delivering such leads to an implantation location. The leads include a helical tip electrode and a curvate body including a defibrillator coil with improved contact between the defibrillator coil and the patient heart. The delivery system includes a delivery catheter and lead receiving sheath disposed within the catheter. A fixation tine is disposed on one of the delivery catheter and the lead receiving sheath such that the delivery system may be anchored into the pericardium during fixation of the screw-in lead. In certain implementations, an implantable sleeve receives the leads to bias the defibrillator coil against the patient heart.

摘要: Various fixation techniques for implantable medical device (IMDs) are described. In one example, an assembly comprises an IMD; and a set of active fixation tines attached to the IMD. The active fixation tines in the set are deployable from a spring-loaded position in which distal ends of the active fixation tines point away from the IMD to a hooked position in which the active fixation tines bend back towards the IMD. The active fixation tines are configured to secure the IMD to a patient tissue when deployed while the distal ends of the active fixation tines are positioned adjacent to the patient tissue.

摘要: A device for positioning an electrode in tissue includes: a lead body having a distal portion; an electrode array coupled to the lead distal portion; an anchoring element having an anchor tip and being operable in a first configuration in which the anchor tip is retracted within the lead and in a second configuration in which the anchor tip is extended outside the lead and configured to fixate within the tissue; and a displacement mechanism that is actuated to bias the electrode array or the anchoring element toward the tissue. A method for positioning an electrode in tissue includes: navigating, to the tissue, a lead with an electrode array, an anchoring element with a distal anchor tip, and a displacement mechanism; biasing the electrode array and anchoring element towards the tissue with the displacement mechanism; and deploying the anchoring element, and verifying fixation of the anchor tip within the tissue.

摘要: The present technology is generally directed to medical implants, such as stimulation assemblies for stimulating heart tissue. In some embodiments, a stimulation assembly includes a body, circuitry positioned at least partially within the body, an electrode coupled to the body, and a hook mechanism coupled to the body. The stimulation assembly can be implanted at cardiac tissue of a patient such that the electrode electrically contacts the tissue. The circuitry can be configured to receive acoustic energy and convert the acoustic energy to electrical energy, and the electrode can deliver the electrical energy to the tissue to stimulate the tissue. The hook mechanism can be configured to engage the tissue to pull the tissue and the electrode toward and into engagement with one another.

摘要: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of artificial cardiac pacemakers, and particularly relates to a leadless left-bundle-branch pacemaker. The leadless left-bundle-branch pacemaker comprises a case and an implant core, wherein the implant core is coaxially arranged inside the case, and a head of the implant core can be rotated out from the inside of the case; the implant core has an implant end that can be rotated out from the inside of the case, and the length of the implant end rotated out from the inside of the case is greater than 10 mm; and an end of the case corresponding to the implant end is provided with a fixing end for fixing the pacemaker.

摘要: A biostimulator, such as a leadless cardiac pacemaker, including a fixation element and an electrode mounted on a resilient scaffold, is described. The fixation element and the resilient scaffold are coupled to a housing of the biostimulator. The resilient scaffold can support the electrode against a target tissue at a location that is radially offset from a location where the fixation element anchors the housing to the target tissue. A flexibility of the resilient scaffold allows the electrode to conform to a shape and movement of the target tissue when the housing is rigidly fixed to the target tissue by the fixation element. The resiliently supported electrode that is radially offset from the anchor point can reliably pace the target tissue without piercing the target tissue. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

摘要: An implantable medical device (IMD) including an elongated housing and a tine housing configured to attach to the elongated housing. The tine housing may support an extending plurality of tines and a distal-most electrode. An inner chamber is bounded at least in part by the elongated housing and the tine housing with an adhesive fill port in fluid communication with the inner chamber. A method of assembling the IMD includes forming the inner chamber and substantially filling the inner chamber with an adhesive through the adhesive fill port. The method may include curing the filling adhesive.
