    Unify CRT-D and Fortify ICD Media Kit

    Unify CRT-D and Fortify ICD Media Kit The Unify™ CRT-D and Fortify™ ICD can deliver 40J, the highest energy of any ICD available today. This high energy capacity gives these devices the ability to provide a greater safety margin, which could increase the chances that therapy will be successful for patients who may need more energy to correct their heart rhythm. The devices’ narrow shape, along with their small footprint, allows physicians to implant them using a smaller incision, leading to less time spent closing the incision and a reduced scar for the patient. Both devices also have features designed to reduce inappropriate or unnecessary defibrillation therapy, while ensuring effective therapy occurs when the patient needs it.
