INGEVITY™+ Pacing Lead

INGEVITY+ pacing leads are 6F (2.0 mm) steroid-eluting, endocardial/interventricular septal pace/sense leads intended for chronic right atrium and/or right ventricle or left bundle branch area application.

Proven longevity. Predictable performance.​

INGEVITY+ is approved for left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) with 95.4% procedural success in addition to right ventricular (RV) pacing.1

Why choose INGEVITY+

Proven lead performance in a new application

Low and stable pacing threshold with INGEVITY+ for left bundle branch area (LBBA) implants similar to right ventricle apical locations.

0.94V.

Mean pacing capture thresholds were 0.94V @ 0.4 ms at 3 months for LBBA2

98.2%.

98.2% of LBBA thresholds were less than or equal to 2V at 0.4ms2

97.6%.

97.6% of LBBA leads did not have a threshold rise >1V at 3 months2


Tested and proven lead design, expanded to LBBAP

  • The stylet design INGEVITY+ pacing lead allows for precise positioning including continuous pacing and monitoring of electrical measurements during lead body rotations.3

  • Outer insulation has more than 20 years of experience with Boston Scientific pacing leads and continues to be durable even when exposed to rough simulated LBBAP use.3,4,5

  • Designed with 3 robust layers of insulation between conductors6  

  • Zero conductor fractures demonstrated under simulated use conditions with extensive preconditioning, INGEVITY+ leads in LBBA positions met a minimum of a 10-year survivability similar to right ventricular apical pacing4

400 Million Cycle Fatigue testing for use in LBBAP 

Critical regions of the INGEVITY+ design are tested for fatigue including the flexible neck between the anode and cathode.


INGEVITY+ enhanced design

200% tensile strength increase with enhanced design changes

Improved inner coil design

The traditional tri-filar inner coil of INGEVITY+ improves the torque transmission of the inner coil and allows for removal of the ETFE covering.

Experience predictable performance with low and consistent turn counts:

  • In tortuous bends
  • In atrial placements
  • When repositioning the lead
  • Across a wider breadth of physician techniques

Improved joint design

  • Incorporated joint design principles from the RELIANCE™ family of leads, which have multi-filar coils and proven performance
  • Reduces potential stress concentrations which could cause conductor fracture if the coil was over-torqued or severely bent in a fatigue condition
  • Strengthens the joint construction so INGEVITY+ can withstand extraction forces over 200% more than the previous generation

Featured therapy

Conduction system pacing

Anchored by the INGEVITY+ pacing lead, Boston Scientific’s Conduction System Pacing portfolio works together to precisely navigate to the septum and efficiently fixate with the stylet design allowing continuous monitoring of electrical measurements to confidently capture the left bundle branch area.

Technical specifications

INGEVITY+ leads utilize an IS-1 bipolar connector and are compatible with IS-1 Fixation and helix locking tool1. The tip incorporates an IROX™ (iridium oxide) coating on the tip electrode2. The electrically active helix allows for continuous pacing on the stylet with lead body rotations3. INGEVITY+ can be safely delivered by Boston Scientific’s portfolio of Site Selective Pacing Catheters.4
