Isoline leads are steroid eluting, dual coil defibrillation leads available in two fixation and two lengths models. With a fully isodiametric 7.8F lead body, Isoline leads include Easyturn: a quick lead placement system for positioning the lead and extending the helix with a single stylet, and Easy Mapping to obtain pacing thresholds without helix extension, said Sorin Group.
Fred Hrkac, president of Sorin Group’s cardiac rhythm management business unit, said: “Isoline leads and other cardiac rhythm management devices are distributed in Japan by Japan Lifeline (JLL), a leading distributor of medical devices based in Tokyo. Sorin Group signed a 10-year partnership agreement with JLL in 2007. The approval of Isoline ensures JLL can now distribute a complete Sorin Group ICD system, composed of Ovatio ICD family and Isoline defibrillation leads.”
