The KY is a low profile implantable bipolar fixed screw-in permanent pacing lead for stimulation of either the atrium or the ventricle. The KY lead is supplied with a screwdriver shape stylet which is used to fixate the lead. The ring tip and fixation screw are electrically active. The KY is available in either Polyurethane or Silicone outer insulation and comes in lengths ranging from 44cm up to 70cm. The unipolar version can be introduced through a 6F introducer (minimum).

For Placement of the Lead in the Atrium or Ventricle:
The lead is fixated in the ventricle by turning the inserted straight screwdriver stylet 2-3 turns. The lead is fixated in the atrium by turning the lead over the preformed J shape positioning stylet (silicone version only).

Quadrifilar Conductor Coil:
Like all Oscor permanent pacing leads, the KY conductors use a quadrifilar coil design providing maximum flexibility with long term reliability.

Flexible Tip and Screw Design:
The distal tip section between tip electrode (cathode) and ring electrode (anode) is highly flexible to prevent perforation into the myocardium. The helix (screw) is sharpened using a proprietary process to allow easy implantation.

Sensing:
Short bipolar electrode spacing for improved sensing
