摘要：
Implant tools and techniques for implantation of a medical lead, catheter or other implantable component are provided. The implant tools and techniques are particularly useful in implanting medical electrical leads in extravascular locations, including subcutaneous locations. An example implant tool for implanting a medical lead includes a rod having a handle and a shaft, and a sheath configured to be placed on the shaft of the rod. The sheath includes a body having proximal end and a distal, a channel formed by the body, the channel extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the body, and an opening that extends along the body of the sheath from the proximal end to the distal end, wherein the channel is accessible via the opening.
