CapSure Pacing Leads
CapSure Z Novus
Patented, 1.2 mm2 electrode increases impedance at the tip to efficiently deliver energy to the tissue. The leads have a thin lead body to accommodate small veins – with the same proven CapSure® efficiency.
The CapSure Z Novus is an endocardial, tined, high-efficiency lead. High efficiency combined with steroid elution allows safe, low output programming.
Steroid-Eluting, High-Efficiency Pacing Leads
- CapSure Z Novus leads offer the same efficient energy delivery in a smaller size
- Small electrode tip increases impedance at electrode-tissue interface to deliver energy most efficiently
CapSure Z Novus Models
- Bipolar
- Passive atrial or ventricular fixation
- Silicone insulation
| Model | Polarity | Placement | Insulation | Tip Shape | Diameter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5054 | bipolar | ventricle | silicone | straight | 6.0 Fr |
| 5554 | bipolar | atrium | silicone | J-shape | 6.0 Fr |
CapSure® SP Novus 5594 Steroid-Eluting Pacing Leads
CapSure SP Novus
Steroid-Eluting, Platinized Tip Pacing Leads – In a Smaller Size
