Abstract
An implantable medical device includes a housing having a proximal end and a distal end. The implantable medical device is placeable on cardiac tissue in the region of the distal end. An anchoring device is fixedly attached to the housing in the region of the distal end. The anchoring device includes at least one anchoring member. The at least one anchoring member includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end is disposed on the housing. The at least one anchoring member longitudinally extends between the first end and the second end along an axis of extension and is formed by a flat strip which is twisted by a twist angle about the axis of extension between the first end and the second end. A method for manufacturing an implantable medical device is also provided.
