A medical apparatus and a fixation mechanism for a medical device thereof are disclosed. The fixation mechanism allows the medical device to be easily fixed at a target site in a patient's body. The medical device may be a leadless pacemaker, and with the present invention, it can provide more physiological cardiac pacing. The fixation mechanism includes a holder and a fixation member. The holder extends in parallelism with the intended object, and the fixation member is provided on an outer wall of the holder and extends around the holder. One end of the fixation member is connected to the outer wall of the holder, and the other end is spaced from the outer wall of the holder by a gap. The holder can be driven to rotate in the same direction as the extension of the fixation member, causing the fixation member to rotate in the same way.
