Overview
AI-generated summary, 20 Sep 2026
The Implantable Suture Sleeve is a device classified under the nomenclature for Permanent Pacemaker Electrode components, designed to protect and secure pacemaker leads during surgical implantation. It serves as a protective barrier between the lead body and sutures, reducing mechanical stress and preventing damage from direct suturing. This sleeve helps minimize acute and chronic slippage of the lead, ensuring stable fixation within the body.
The Implantable Suture Sleeve is intended for use in cardiovascular procedures, specifically for securing pacemaker leads during implantation. Supplied as a single-use device, it is sterilized and packaged for sterile application in the operating room. The device is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K820487) and falls under Class III medical device classification (DTB). No additional regulatory status beyond the stated FDA clearance is implied.
