Abstract:
An assembly for introducing a leadless intra-cardiac medical device includes a sheath having an internal passage, wherein the sheath is configured to be maneuvered into the heart of the patient. A housing may be retained within the internal passage, wherein the housing is configured to be pushed out of the sheath, the housing having a first anchoring member configured to anchor the housing to a first implant location within the heart. The assembly may also include an electrode trailing the housing within the internal passage, wherein the electrode is also configured to be pushed out of the sheath. The electrode has a second anchoring member configured to anchor the electrode to a second implant location within the heart. A conductive wire connects the housing to the electrode, wherein movement of the housing out of the sheath causes the electrode to follow the movement to a distal end of the sheath.
