The Durata Defibrillation Lead has a proven structural design and unique insulation material that demonstrate excellent long-term durability1 and a thin 7 F size that can better accommodate multiple leads in a single vessel. Individuals requiring multi-lead systems, lead replacement, or who have small or tortuous veins provide some of the greatest challenges for implanting and managing patients with ICD leads. The Durata lead was designed to address these and other challenges associated with even the most difficult cases at every step in the process.
The SJ4 Connector Header Difference
The SJ4 Connector Header has a single terminal pin connection that decreases chances of lead-to-port mismatch. Fewer connections and setscrews lessen complexity, and the improved terminal pin visibility is designed to encourage proper lead connection.
Confidence at Implant
Navigate challenging anatomy - the 7 F Durata Lead is the smallest ICD lead available today and may:
- Improve passage through crowded veins, as seen in patients requiring lead replacement
- Provide more options for lead access in the smaller cephalic vein
- Increase maneuverability in patients with small or tortuous veins
- Accommodate multiple or pre-existing leads in a single vessel utilizing the lubricious and flexible handling of the Durata lead
Performance for the Long Term
- Minimize lead abrasion with exclusive Optim™ Insulation, a unique hybrid of silicone and polyurethane, which increases flexibility and lubricity.2 Optim insulation also provides abrasion resistance to minimize the risk of lead-on-lead and lead-on-can abrasion in multi-lead systems.
- Restrict tissue growth into shock coils with exclusive flat wire shock coils completely back filled with silicone.
