Abstract

Systems for adjusting a position of an implanted medical device (200) within a patient include an engagement tool (210, 210-1, 210-2, 210-3, 210-4, 210-5, 210-6, 210-7, 210-8, 210-9) configured to couple to the implanted medical device (200). The engagement tool (210, 210-1, 210-2, 210-3, 210-4, 210-5, 210-6, 210-7, 210-8, 210-9) adjusts the position of the medical device when coupled to the implanted medical device (200). Methods of adjusting a position of an implanted medical device (200) within a patient include locating the implanted medical device (200), coupling an engagement tool (210, 210-1, 210-2, 210-3, 210-4, 210-5, 210-6, 210-7, 210-8, 210-9) to the medical device (200), and adjusting a position of the engagement tool (210, 210-1, 210-2, 210-3, 210-4, 210-5, 210-6, 210-7, 210-8, 210-9) to adjust the position of the medical device (200).
