Abstract
A leadless biostimulator, such as a leadless pacemaker, including a header assembly having a monolithic controlled release device (MCRD) for therapeutic agent elution, is described. The MCRD is in fluid communication with a space between an insulator and an electrode of the header assembly to elute therapeutic agent into the space when the leadless biostimulator is implanted. The therapeutic agent can elute through the space around the electrode to provide controlled elution of the therapeutic agent to a surrounding environment. The electrode can extend longitudinally through the insulator cavity to a distal tip that provides a stable surface area and controlled impedance for pacing a target tissue. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
