ABSTRACT:
A lead locking device has a lead engaging member with a mandrel extending along a lumen and attached to the distal end of the lead engaging member such that it extends beyond the proximal end of the lead engaging member. The lead locking device also has a loop handle attached to the proximal end of the mandrel. The lead engaging member has a first configuration which is narrower than a second configuration and is sufficiently long to extend along substantially the entire length of a lead to be removed from a patient's body. Methods of removing a lead from a patient's body include attaching a lead locking device along substantially the entire length of the lead and applying traction to the proximal end of the lead locking device.
