| titleOfInvention | Medical electrical lead having temporarily rigid fixation |
| abstract | A medical electrical lead having active fixation (40) which readily flexes within the cardiac tissue (18). In particular, the present invention is a medical electrical lead having fixation mechanism which is temporarily rigid. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the medical electrical lead features a fixation helix (40) constructed from an absorbable material, such as mannitol. In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, a medical electrical lead is disclosed which features a fixation mechanism having a multi-layer construction. In that embodiment the fixation mechanism is fahioned of a first (42), rigid and absorbable, material and a second (41), readily pliable and nonabsorbable, material. Through such a construction the lead may be fixed in the tissue (18) such that over time the first material (42) is absorbed by the body and the second material (41) is left in position to flexibly fix the lead in place. In one embodiment the second material (41) is conductive and is used to achieve an electrical coupling to the body tissue. |
