| Zusammenfassung: | A stabilizing apparatus for implantable leads includes an elongated stylet and a sleeve slidable disposed along the stylet. The stylet includes an enlarged distal end, and the sleeve is movable onto the enlarged distal end to create an interference in a lumen of the implantable lead. The interference allows the stylet and sleeve to be used to stabilize the implantable lead during procedures that may dislodge the lead. The stabilizing apparatus also includes a proximal device that allows controllable, relative motion between the sleeve and stylet. |
