active fixation and Quadripolar technology 

1. ADVANCED QUADRIPOLAR LEAD TECHNOLOGY

  • Reduces phrenic nerve stimulation with short bipolar spacing2-4
  • Improves thresholds and longevity with steroid on all electrodes5
  • Enables multiple point pacing (MPP)
  • Approved for 1.5T and 3T full body MRI scanning   

2. Unique Side Helix Mechanism for Active Fixation

  • Enables precise and secure lead placement
  • Eliminates the need to wedge 
  • Integrates a mechanical stop and adhesive backfill for prevention of over-rotation and vein tissue pinching

Designed with extraction in mind

Helix straightens and elongates below expected extraction forces, enabling removal from the vein — similar to passive fixation leads.6

Safety

Attain Stability Quad helix is 0.25 mm away from lead body.

  • Vessel cross-sectional analysis indicates a 1 mm average distance between a vein and the nearest artery.1  This distance was taken into account when designing the side helix.
  • The helix is positioned 0.25 mm away from the lead body — creating a 4x safety margin between the vein and artery.
  • No lead dislodgements reported within 12 months of follow-up.1
