Abstract:
1. A delivery system configured for implanting a biostimulation device comprising: a stylet comprising a knob end and a threaded end configured to engage a threaded end of the biostimulation device; and a catheter tube configured to axially contain the stylet, the catheter tube comprising a feature configured to engage a corresponding feature on the biostimulation device to provide rotational counter traction when the stylet is rotated relative to the catheter tube for disengagement of the stylet threaded end from the biostimulation device threaded end, wherein the catheter tube further comprises: a sliding sheath assembly configured to axially slide over the stylet and engaged biostimulation device and to axially retract from the stylet a predetermined distance whereby electrodes of the biostimulation device are exposed, enabling threshold testing while the biostimulation device remains engaged to the stylet.
