Innovation. A new-gen leadless pacemaker transforms heart care

The new-gen leadless pacemakers are transforming heart care.

Miniaturised, minimally invasive and retrievable, these pacemakers have been developed to make both implantation and retrieval as smooth as possible.

A pacemaker is a medical device that helps regulate the heartbeat. Traditional pacemakers are implanted just beneath a person’s skin near the collarbone and connected to the heart with wires. These wires deliver electrical signals to help the heart beat at a normal rate, relieving symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, and discomfort.

While traditional pacemakers require a chest incision, leadless pacemakers are inserted into the heart using a catheter (tube). The new generation pacemakers are designed to provide electrical mapping before fixation, thus empowering surgeons with a clear picture of the patient’s anatomy, which enables them to implant the device with precision. During catheter insertion, the pacemaker is covered with a protective sleeve that makes navigation through blood vessels smoother and reduces the risk of injury.

The biggest benefit is that the patients’ recovery time is reduced significantly. They can return home and resume their daily routine with fewer restrictions. The pacemaker becomes a part of the heart seamlessly, as it leaves no visible signs like scars or bulges.
