2088TC-65 St. Jude Medical Tendril STS Cardiac Pacing Lead, 65 cm, Active-fixation Bipolar Steroid-eluting Endocardial 

General Description

The Tendril™ STS Model 2088TC leads are bipolar, steroid-eluting, active fixation implantable pacing leads with Optim™ insulation.

Certain Tendril STS Model 2088TC lead lengths have been tested for use in the MRI environment and are designated MR Conditional. 

The Tendril STS Model 2088TC lead can be placed in either the right atrium or the right ventricle.

Features of the Tendril STS Model 2088TC leads include:

•  Soft Tip Header — reduces lead tip pressure
•  Optim™ insulation — a silicone-polyurethane copolymer
•  Tantalum Marker Ring — to facilitate optimal lead positioning
•  Active Fixation — features a rotating, extendable/retractable helix for secure anchoring
•  Steroid Elution — contains a monolithic controlled-release device (MCRD), located in the tip electrode of the lead, which is impregnated with dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP). The steroid (DSP) decreases the inflammatory reaction of the heart during the acute stage (0-3 months post implant) of patient recovery.
•  Fast-Pass™ Coating — creates a highly lubricious surface for easy insertion
