Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system for delivering a leadless pacemaker having a housing with a proximal end. The system includes a guide catheter. The guide catheter includes a catheter shaft and a negative pressure attachment feature. The catheter shaft includes a distal end and a proximal end opposite the distal end. The negative pressure attachment feature is located at the distal end of the catheter shaft and configured to selectively negative pressure adhere with the housing of the leadless pacemaker.
Claims16
A system, comprising:
- a leadless pacemaker including a housing having a proximal end;
- and
- a guide catheter including an attachment feature of a catheter shaft, wherein the attachment feature is shaped to suction adhere to the housing of the leadless pacemaker via a negative pressure between the proximal end of the housing and an opposing surface of the attachment feature.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
