ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for preventing an anchoring element on the distal end of an implantable medical electrical conductor from coming into contact with and damaging the wall of a body cavity during advancement of the conductor into the cavity has a sleeve element attachable to the outer surface of the distal end of the conductor to enclose the entire length of the anchoring element, and a pulling element attached to the distal end of the sleeve element. Pulling on the pulling element from the proximal end of the conductor retracts the sleeve element after introduction of the conductor has been concluded, to expose the anchoring element for active fixation to adjacent body tissue. An implantable electrode cable equipped with such an end protector.
