Tendril STS Pacing Leads*
The clinically proven Tendril STS Pacing Lead has been enhanced with the addition of SurGrip™ suture sleeve technology, providing a new level of secure fixation and advanced lead protection.2
The Tendril STS Pacing Leads with SurGrip suture sleeve technology provides a reliable, safe and no wait, MRI-Ready solution with the performance you can depend on.2 The Tendril STS Pacing Lead is approved for left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP).*
SurGrip Suture Sleeve Technology
- SurGrip suture sleeve technology provides secure fixation with a uniquely designed channel and novel geomtery1
- Wider spacing and less force results in easier-tie-down, accommodating a range of implant techniques1
- The novel design minimizes possible lead damage due to overtightening, providing enhanced lead protection1

Optim™ Lead Insulation for Long-term Durability
Minimize lead abrasion with Optim lead insulation, a unique hybrid material that:
- Blends the biostability and flexibility of silicone with the durability and lubricity of polyurethane
- Provides abrasion resistance to minimize the risk of lead-on-lead and lead-on-can abrasion in
multi-lead systems3 - Offers flexibility and lubricity for improved handling3
Safe
Safer 6 French (F) design features a thin profile pacing lead designed for flexibility and ease of handling for a safer and easier venous introduction.4
Thin, 6F Profile Design:4
- Improves venous passage and accommodates additional leads within a single vessel
- Reduces the risk of rib or clavicle crush and venous thrombosis
- Affords more options for lead access in a small cephalic vein
Thin Lead Profile
Thin lead body for safer and easier venous introduction.4 Ease implantation with the small diameter lead, compatible with a 6F introducer.
Soft Silicone Tip4
Soft silicone tip allows for more compliance at the lead-endocardium interface and enhances implant safety.
- Four raised pads on the silicone tip increase the heart tissue and lead contact surface area
- Increase in lead tip surface area of 35% over 6F leads without a soft silicone tip
- Unique soft silicone tip technology that can reduce lead tip pressure by 30%
