Abstract
A lead device is provided for a medical treatment apparatus, where the lead device includes mechanisms for anchoring the lead device in tissue.
Claims22
A lead device of a medical device, the lead device comprising:
- a lead shaft;
- and
- one or multiple anchoring mechanisms, including a first anchoring mechanism disposed over the lead shaft such that the lead shaft is positioned within an opening defined by the first anchoring mechanism, the first anchoring mechanism being a notched anchor comprising a perimeter shell including a first end and a second end, the perimeter shell defining the opening to receive the lead shaft, wherein at least one of the first end or second end of the perimeter shell includes a notch formation that extends longitudinally from one of the first end or the second end, over a portion of a longitudinal length of the perimeter shell.
(canceled)
A lead device of a medical device, the lead device comprising:
- a lead shaft;
- and
- one or multiple anchoring mechanisms, including a first anchoring mechanism disposed over the lead shaft such that the lead shaft is positioned within an opening defined by the first anchoring mechanism, the first anchoring mechanism being a wire structure comprising a flaring segment that extends outward from the lead shaft, wherein the flaring segment is manipulatable between an expanded state and a contracted state, and, in the contracted state, a portion of the flaring segment abuts the lead shaft.
(canceled)
A lead device of a medical device, the lead device comprising:
- a lead shaft;
- and
- one or multiple anchoring mechanisms, including a first anchoring mechanism disposed over the lead shaft such that the lead shaft is positioned within an opening defined by the first anchoring mechanism, the first anchoring mechanism being a ring structure, wherein the ring structure includes a corresponding exterior ring face that is predisposed to be bendable in a first axial direction and resist bending in a second axial direction.
