Patent abstract
An implantable intramuscular lead system, such as for use as a gastric lead, and method of use in which electrodes along the lead are imbedded in tissue. First and second anchors are mounted on an elongate lead. At least the second anchor is movable along the length of the lead relative to the first anchor to capture the tissue between the anchors so that the lead is retained in position. The system facilitates implantation of the lead in tissue, and may be particularly suited for minimally invasive implantation, such as laparoscopically.
