Of Leads Require Intervention1
WHAT IS LEAD MANAGEMENT?
Leads are insulated wires that are implanted in the vasculature to deliver electrical pulses from a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator to the heart. Millions of patients around the world have these leads. Occasionally leads become infected or malfunction and it’s necessary to remove them. Extraction of leads requires specifically designed removal devices. Cook’s lead management portfolio, built with over 34 years of experience, includes a comprehensive toolkit for these procedures.
