DELIVERY DEVICE FOR IMPLANTABLE SENSORS

摘要

A delivery system for an implantable medical device including a tether retaining feature having a bore. The system includes a connector having a top surface, a bottom surface, a rail extending in a proximal direction from the connector, and an aperture sized to receive the tether retaining feature and reduce movement of the connector with respect to the implantable medical device in a plane parallel to the aperture. A tether is sized to fit within the bore of the tether retaining feature. The tether acts against the top surface of the connector to retain the bottom surface of the connector proximal to the implantable medical device when the tether is located within the bore of the tether retaining feature. A method for delivering an implantable medical device including a tether retaining feature.
