Abstract

See full text

Described is an implantable medical device comprising housing having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end fixedly coupled to the distal end of the lead body, a coupler rotatably disposed within the housing, the coupler having a proximal end and a distal end, and a helical electrode fixedly secured to the distal end of the coupler. The helical electrode comprises a proximal axial length portion that comprises a non-degradable material, and a distal axial length portion that comprises a biodegradable material. The proximal and distal portions may include concave/convex surfaces or threaded portions. The coupler and the helical electrode are configured to rotate and therefore translate relative to the housing.
