An endocardial defibrillation lead is a thin, flexible wire implanted inside the heart to deliver life-saving electrical shocks from an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). It also enables pacing therapy for patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest or those with irregular heart rhythms, ensuring proper heart function and coordination.
These devices are typically regulated as medical implants, often requiring pre-market approval or clearance depending on the jurisdiction. They are supplied sterile and designed for long-term use, with some incorporating anti-inflammatory coatings to improve tissue integration and reduce complications during implantation.
