A hemostasis device includes a valve, the valve being sized and configured to be disposed entirely within a handle of medical device, the valve including a rim, the rim be sized and configured to seal with a lumen of the handle of the medical device.

Hemostasis valve orientation relative to the fluid space in a introducer sheath

An implantable medical lead comprising a lead body defining a lumen. The lead body includes one or more tines substantially at a distal end of the lead body. An inner member extending within the lead body lumen is configured to rotate relative to the lead body and configured to cause a rotation of a dilator. The dilator is configured such that the rotation causes or enables a lateral translation of the dilator from a first position proximal to a lead body opening to a second position distal to the lead body opening. The implantable medical lead may include a probe wire configured to slidably translate through an inner lumen of the dilator.

Implantable medical lead

A hemostasis device includes a valve, the valve being sized and configured to be disposed entirely within a handle of a medical device, the valve including a rim, the rim being sized and configured to seal with a lumen of the handle of the medical device.

An example catheter includes a handle assembly having a control member, an elongate body, a pull wire, and at least one radiopaque marker. The elongate body defines a lumen configured to receive a medical electrical lead including at least one electrode array. The elongate body includes a proximal portion coupled to the handle assembly and a distal portion that includes an articulating segment and a preformed curve segment. The at least one radiopaque marker is positioned on the distal portion. The pull wire extends from the control member and is anchored to the elongate body distal to the articulating segment such that actuation of the control member controllably bends the articulating segment in a first curve in a first geometric plane. The preformed curve segment defines a second curve in a second geometric plane different from the first geometric plane.
