A body implantable lead having a two-piece stylet. An inner solid portion of the stylet enables a shape to be imparted to the stylet to allow proper maneuvering of the lead during implant. A second portion of the stylet is slideably located coaxially about the first portion. The second portion of the stylet permits the imposition of a torque at the distal end of the implantable lead by the turning of a knob fixedly attached to the proximal end of the second portion of the stylet. The second portion of the stylet is a helically wound coil. The two-piece stylet is inserted into the proximal end of the body implantable lead. The distal end of the body implantable lead is located in the position desired through the use of the solid inner first portion of the stylet in which a bend or other desired shape has been introduced. The body implantable lead is permanently attached to the muscle tissue by a fixation device activated through the torque supplied by the second portion of the stylet. The two portions of the stylet may be fabricated from a variety of materials.
