A detachable electrode and anchor utilized with electrode leads and leadless medical implants that enable explantation of the electrode while leaving the anchor in place. The detachable electrode and anchor utilizes a detachable mechanism that detachably couples the electrode to the anchor. Embodiments do not require removal of existing scar tissue before explantation, which minimize chances of internal bleeding at the extraction site. Embodiments also minimize impact on the vein in which the electrode lead travels by eliminating use of a necessarily larger diameter sheath that is utilized around the electrode lead to remove the electrode lead and attached anchor.

Detachable electrode and anchor

A leadless implantable device delivery apparatus that enables testing of an implantation site before permanent implantation and enables secure attachment at the site while minimizing effects of the implantation procedure. Embodiments include a delivery sheath configured to accommodate a leadless implantable device, the leadless implantable device having an anchor that includes at least one projection configured to physically attach the anchor to tissue, such as heart tissue. In addition, embodiments include an adapter that resides within the delivery sheath and is configured to impart rotational force at the distal end of the adapter that is applied to the proximal end of the adapter to rotate the anchor associated with the implantable device.

Leadless implantable device delivery apparatus

Filtering assembly for a feedthrough, for implantable medical devices, having operating conductive pin(s) and a ground conductive pin. The filtering assembly has: Further directed to a feedthrough assembly comprising the inventive filtering assembly.
