Impedance guided tunneling tool |
| 摘要 |
A system includes a first electrode at a tip of a tunneling tool and a second electrode. The system includes a circuit configured to determine whether the tip of the tunneling tool is within subcutaneous fat tissue or muscle tissue of a patient based on a measurement of an impedance between the first electrode and the second electrode. |

1. A system comprising:
a first electrode at a tip of a tunneling tool, wherein the first electrode comprises a stylet within a central lumen of a lead; a second electrode attached to the tunneling tool, wherein the second electrode comprises a coil of the lead; and a circuit configured to determine whether the tip of the tunneling tool is within subcutaneous fat tissue or muscle tissue of a patient based on a measurement of an impedance between the first electrode and the second electrode. |
