BIOSTIMULATOR HAVING ARTICULATION

BIOSTIMULATOR HAVING ARTICULATION

A biostimulator (100) and a biostimulator system for septal pacing are described. The biostimulator (100) includes an articulation (120) to allow an electrode axis (112) of a pacing electrode (106) to be directed differently than a housing axis (114) of a housing (108). The housing (108) contains el...

Zusammenfassung:A biostimulator (100) and a biostimulator system for septal pacing are described. The biostimulator (100) includes an articulation (120) to allow an electrode axis (112) of a pacing electrode (106) to be directed differently than a housing axis (114) of a housing (108). The housing (108) contains electrical circuitry (202) that is electrically connected to the pacing electrode (106). The differently directed axes (112, 114) allow the pacing electrode (106) to affix to target tissue of an interventricular septal wall (104) of a heart (102) when the housing (108) of the biostimulator (100) is located near an apex (105) of the heart (102). The articulation (120) can include a flexible portion (208) of an extension (204), a hinge (902), or a tether (1702). Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
