Abstract
An implantable medical lead comprising one or more tines configured to extend and/or retract from a lead body. The implantable medical lead includes a torque member within the implantable medical lead and configured to rotate a drive shaft within the implantable medical lead. The drive shaft is threadably engaged with an interior surface of the implantable medical lead and configured to convert the rotation into a lateral translation of the drive shaft. The one or more tines are configured such that the lateral translation of the torque member laterally translates the one or more tines. The one or more tines are each electrically connected to a conductor extending through a lumen of the implantable medical lead and electrically isolated from each other.
