Abstract
In accordance with various embodiments, an anchoring system for a medical device comprises one or more biased hooks. The one or more biased hooks may be formed by any suitable process. Moreover, the one or more biased hooks may be formed from a shape memory material. The anchoring system may be processed in any suitable way to provide a designed or predefined failure mode. This failure mode may be designed to protect or prevent damage to the medical device. The anchoring system may be configured with a plurality of hooks biased in various directions. Moreover, the anchoring system may be configured with a plurality of substantially small hooks configured to engage the anatomy at multiple points. As such, the anchoring systems may be customizable and provide for an implantable medical device with a reduced delivery geometry and/or deployment geometry.
