Lead Extractions
- The Hero Mechanical Lead Removal System is equipped with numerous safety features to mitigate risks.
- Its ergonomic, user-friendly design allows for optimal handling and maneuverability during procedures.
- Constructed from high-quality materials, the Hero Mechanical system promises consistent performance.
Advanced Mechanical Traction
- Secure Gripping Mechanism: Precisely captures the lead body or extraction coil, ensuring a stable interface for stepwise tension application.
- Responsive Torque Control: Facilitates targeted and gradual lead extraction, reducing the chance of abrupt stress on vessel or lead tissues.
Enhanced Flexibility
- Adaptive Shaft: The lead removal shaft is designed to accommodate angled or tortuous venous pathways, promoting smooth navigation and reduced risk of kinking.
- Bend-Resistant Materials: Ensures consistent transmission of push and pull forces, supporting precise lead maneuverability under fluoroscopic guidance.
Safety-Driven Ergonomics
- Intuitive Handle: A well-contoured grip allows the operator to modulate tension, torque, or rotational control in real time.
- Built-In Security Features: Stepwise traction or release modes enable clinicians to pause or reverse force if unexpected resistance occurs—mitigating potential complications.
Broad Device Compatibility
- Multiple Sizing & Accessory Options: The Hero system accommodates an array of lead diameters, insulation types, and coil designs—ensuring versatile application across pacemaker/ICD leads.
