TENDRIL™ STS (CAT#: AM-IA-0199-LC)

Advanced lead technology enables durability for long time and highly trusted performance. The 6F thin Tendril STS Lead uses a unique silicone tip technology to ensure trusted performance and relieve pressure from the tip. It has a proprietary St. Jude Medical Optim lead insulation which reduces the risk of abrasion from the lead and provides long-term durability.
Tendril STS Lead's soft silicone tip design and thin lead ensure implantation safety and provide clinical advantages. Compared to other 6F leads without a soft silicone tip, the tip pressure is reduced by 30% and the surface area of the lead tip is increased by 35%. Due to the soft nature of the tip material, it also has 6F introducer compatibility.

Soft silicone tip provides higher compliance and reduces tip pressure at the tip-endocardial interface
Small diameter leads improve ease of venous passage, reduce the risk of venous thrombosis or rib-clavicle comminution, and can easily accommodate more leads
Optim ™ Lead Insulation—a chemical copolymer that combines the best properties of polyurethane and silicone to improve operability and durability
Titanium nitride (TiN) fractal coating on the tip and ring electrodes facilitate accurate sensing and improve contact with the heart muscle
Lubricated Fast-Pass ™ coating is good for wire insertion through guide tubes and veins for easy implantation
Can be inserted via 6 F guide
