AI Technical Summary
Conventional cardiac pacemakers face issues such as bulging under the skin, erosion, extrusion, infection, disconnection, and complex connections that can lead to malfunction, along with difficulties in implantation and adjustment, particularly with separately implanted pulse generators and pacing leads.
A leadless biostimulator with a helix mount and fixation element that includes a helix extending along a helical axis, featuring a leading point aligned within an alignment range, and optional backstop elements to resist backward movement, providing secure anchoring within cardiac tissue.
The leadless biostimulator reduces the risk of dislodgement and tissue damage by ensuring stable fixation, minimizing complications associated with conventional pacemakers, and allowing for easier implantation and adjustment.
