About

Tendril Pacing Leads

For years, the Tendril™ pacing lead family has helped to improve patient health and restore quality of life to millions across the globe. The Tendril STS™ lead and the Tendril MRI™ lead are both MR Conditional, giving you the options you need to provide the best technology for your patients and their evolving medical needs.

Small Diameter Lead

Compatible with a 6F introducer, the Tendril STS lead eases implantation. The thin profile is designed to:

  • Improve venous passage
  • Accommodate additional leads within a single vessel
  • Reduce the risk of rib-clavicle crush and venous thrombosis
  • Provide more options for lead access in a small cephalic vein

Soft Silicone Tip

You can improve implant safety while taking advantage of the clinical benefits of thin-profile leads with the Tendril STS lead’s soft silicone tip design.2 The Tendril STS lead provides:

  • A tip pressure reduction of 30% (mean) over 6F leads without a soft silicone tip2
  • An increase in lead tip surface area of 35% over 6F leads without a soft silicone tip2
  • Compatibility with a 6F introducer due to the tip material’s soft nature
