Patent attributes
A leadless implantable device delivery apparatus that enables testing of an implantation site before permanent implantation and enables secure attachment at the site while minimizing effects of the implantation procedure. Embodiments include a delivery sheath configured to accommodate a leadless implantable device, the leadless implantable device having an anchor that includes at least one projection configured to physically attach the anchor to tissue, such as heart tissue. In addition, embodiments include an adapter that resides within the delivery sheath and is configured to impart rotational force at the distal end of the adapter that is applied to the proximal end of the adapter to rotate the anchor associated with the implantable device.
