Attain Ability has the thinnest lead body of any left-heart lead currently available, which can permit physicians to deliver therapy directly to hard-to-reach areas of the heart.
Attain Ability incorporates insulation material developed by NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., that was previously evaluated for space applications, high-performance engines and harsh environments. This application marks the first time a NASA-developed material has been used in this kind of implantable medical device.
