Steroid eluting left ventricular leads
Implantation made easy
-
Lubricant coating: Facilitates sliding of the lead through the guiding catheter.
-
Distal horn: is pointed to the left, facilitating the catheterization of lateral veins.
Stability and performance due to a unique design
-
Orientation curve: matches the curvature of the coronary
sinus and lateral veins, to allow optimal positioning of the tip
toward the epicardium and keeps lead in a stable position.
-
Contact curve: the distal curve acts as a spring inside the
lateral vein, holding the tip in permanent contact with the vein.
|
UL28D: large vein
UC28D: small vein |
The exclusive dual-curve design allows the operator to position the lead in the proximal part of the lateral vein, where the best thresholds and best ventricular synchronization are generally obtained*.
There are 2 curve profiles available for the SITUS, to fit different anatomical configurations:
Guiding catheter removal procedure
-
Single-diameter connector: the guiding catheter of the Situs LVAS kit can be removed simply, along the line of the lead, enhancing the safety of this procedural step
-
IS1 sleeve: after guiding removal, the IS-1 sleeve transform the single diameter connector in a standard IS-1 connector.
