The Durata Defibrillation Lead is a cardiac lead that offers high performance handling, more control at implant and a proven platform of long-term durability, which help physicians better manage the risks inherent in ICD therapy and improve patient outcomes. The Durata Defibrillation Lead platform offers:
- Downsized to 7 F through improved conductor configuration without compromising insulation
- Improved single coil lead design driving lead reliability
- 50% increase in outer insulation thickness
- 50x more abrasion resistance through the addition of Optim™ Insulation1
Research has shown that the Durata Defibrillation lead has experienced:
- 99.9% abrasion free rate based on nearly 5 years of data2
- ~ 90% reduction in abrasion rates vs. SJM silicone leads2
- Zero events of externalized conductors
