DEFIBRILLATION LEAD

MRI Ready lead models
The Durata™ defibrillation lead allows patients to safely undergo an MRI scan* when used in combination with a St. Jude Medical™ MRI Ready device.1,2
Lead reliability with Optim™ lead insulation
The Durata defibrillation lead has a proven structural design. It uses Optim™ lead insulation—a unique material, with excellent long-term durability3—and thin, 7 F sizing, which better accommodates multiple leads in a single vessel. It is designed to deal with challenging ICD lead cases, including cases requiring multilead systems, lead replacement or with patients who have small or tortuous veins.
Long-term performance
Durata defibrillation leads use St. Jude Medical exclusive Optim lead insulation, a unique hybrid of silicone and polyurethane, designed to:
Minimize lead abrasion
Increase flexibility and lubricity4
Provide lead-on-lead and lead-on-can abrasion resistance in multi-lead systems
Restrict tissue growth into shock coils, by utilizing flat-wire coils with silicone backfill
Research has shown that the Durata defibrillation lead has experienced:
99.6% abrasion-free rate based on 8 years of data5
85% reduction in abrasion rates vs. St. Jude Medical™ silicone leads5
