The ultimate solution to extract leads safely
Significantly reducing risk and tissue damage for lead extraction procedures
The Need to extract leads
Infections
Device infection is the most common reason for lead extraction. It is usually impossible to get rid of the infection without extraction
Lead failures
The prevalence of lead failure is about 1-4 % of all implanted leads
Venous occlusion
Too many leads are abandoned
Recalls and upgrades
See note
