Device And Method For Positioning An Electrode In Tissue

US Patent:
2012032, Dec 20, 2012
Filed:
Aug 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/219874
Inventors:
Ellis Garai - Sherman Oaks CA, US
Aravind Swaminathan - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/05
US Classification:
606129
Abstract:
A device for positioning an electrode in tissue includes: a lead body having a distal portion; an electrode array coupled to the lead distal portion; an anchoring element having an anchor tip and being operable in a first configuration in which the anchor tip is retracted within the lead and in a second configuration in which the anchor tip is extended outside the lead and configured to fixate within the tissue; and a displacement mechanism that is actuated to bias the electrode array or the anchoring element toward the tissue. A method for positioning an electrode in tissue includes: navigating, to the tissue, a lead with an electrode array, an anchoring element with a distal anchor tip, and a displacement mechanism; biasing the electrode array and anchoring element towards the tissue with the displacement mechanism; and deploying the anchoring element, and verifying fixation of the anchor tip within the tissue.
