Abstract
Delivery devices, systems, and methods for delivering implantable leadless pacing devices are disclosed. An example delivery device may include a proximal section including a deflection mechanism for deflecting the proximal section, and a distal holding section extending distally of a distal end of the proximal section and defining a cavity therein for receiving an implantable leadless pacing device. The distal holding section may be structured to have portions that flex and bend while allowing the implantable device to be recaptured within the distal holding section.
Claims20
A delivery device for delivering an implantable leadless pacing device, comprising:
- an elongate shaft having a first outer diameter;
- and
- a distal holding section extending distally from a distal end of the elongate shaft, the distal holding section having a second outer diameter greater than the first outer diameter, the distal holding section including a polymeric body with a sidewall defining a cavity for receiving the implantable leadless pacing device, the sidewall having a reinforcing element embedded within the polymeric body, the polymeric body including one or more conductive pathways extending through the sidewall into the cavity.
A delivery device for delivering an implantable leadless pacing device, comprising:
- a proximal elongate shaft having a first outer diameter;
- a distal holding section extending distally from a distal end of the proximal elongate shaft, the distal holding section having a second outer diameter greater than the first outer diameter and defining a cavity therein with a distal facing opening for receiving the implantable leadless pacing device;
- and
- wherein the distal holding section is defined by a sidewall including a reinforcing element and one or more conductive pathways.
