ANCHOR DEPLOYMENT FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES

摘要

A tool (200) for deploying an anchor sleeve (10B) onto an implantable device (110) includes handle (210B) and base members (200), which may be fitted together by an operator. The operator may select the handle member from a plurality thereof included in a kit; and the base member, also included in the kit, includes a rail segment (230) with which a gripping portion (213) of the selected handle member may be engaged, for example, via guidance from a marked portion of the base member. Once engaged, a deployment tip (201) of the base member is located to move a mounted anchor sleeve from a tubular member (211) of the handle member and onto a body of the device.
