ABSTRACT:
A device for preventing a fixation element on the distal end of an implantable lead, during introduction into a body cavity, from coming into contact with and damaging the cavity has a protective body, which completely encloses the fixation element, and which is made of a gel-forming material. After introduction and contact with body fluid and when pressure is applied to the material against body tissue, the material permits mechanical penetration of the protective body by the fixation element, whereupon the fixation element can be affixed to the body cavity.
