摘要:
An IMD may include a housing with a controller and a power supply disposed within the housing. A distal electrode may be supported by a distal electrode support that biases the distal electrode toward an extended position in which the distal electrode extends distally from the distal end of the housing and allows the distal electrode to move proximally relative to the extended position in response to an axial force applied to the distal electrode in the proximal direction. In some cases, the distal electrode support may include a tissue ingrowth inhibiting outer sleeve that extends along the length of the distal electrode support and is configured to shorten when the distal electrode moves proximally relative to the extended position and to lengthen when the distal electrode moves back distally toward the extended position in order to accommodate movement of the distal electrode.
