    摘要: A lead adapter for a patient treatment system comprises a housing having a plurality of inlets, each inlet being segregated from an immediately adjacent inlet by a housing intermediate wall. A plurality of electrical contact assemblies residing in the housing are electrically connected to a respective one of a plurality of electrical contact posts. Each contact post has an exposed terminal portion residing in one of the plurality of inlets. A header is movably secured to the housing to selectively open and close the housing. With the header in an open position, an implantable lead is movable into a longitudinally extending opening in the header. The header is then manipulatable into a closed position to move an electrical contact of the lead into contact with a respective one of the electrical contact assemblies electrically connected to a respective one of the electrical contact posts. That way, the electrical contacts of the implantable lead are in electrical continuity with an exposed terminal portion of a respective one of the electrical contact posts.

    摘要: In various examples, a connector for an implantable medical device is configured to accept a lead therein and electrically couple to a lead contact of the lead. The connector includes a connector housing, which includes a bore portion including a bore hole therethrough. The bore hole includes a bore hole axis, the bore hole being sized and shaped to accept the lead within the bore hole. An attachment portion is coupled to the bore portion. The attachment portion includes an attachment hole within the attachment portion sized and shaped to accept a feedthrough wire within the attachment hole. The attachment hole includes an attachment hole axis offset from and non-parallel to the bore hole axis.

    摘要: An active medical device has a feedthrough with at least two terminal pins that are connected to electronic components in the device housing. A lead connector is connected to a strain-relief device for a lead. The lead connector supports at least two connector pins that are detachably connected to the device terminal pins to thereby connect the device electronic components to the lead electrodes. The device housing has a length extending along a longitudinal axis, and secondary axes of the terminal pins connected to the connector pins are aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis. The feedthrough also has spaced-apart distally extending arms with detents, and the lead connector has spaced-apart lateral recesses. With the detents of the feedthrough arms received in the lateral recesses of the lead connector, the medical device is detachably connected to the strain-relief device and the lead.

    摘要: An active medical device has a feedthrough with at least two terminal pins that are connected to electronic components in the device housing. A lead connector is connected to a strain-relief device for a lead. The lead connector supports at least two proximally-facing C-shaped inserts with an annular spring nested therein that are detachably connected to the device terminal pins to thereby connect the device electronic components to the lead electrodes. The device housing has a length extending along a longitudinal axis, and secondary axes of the terminal pins connected to the C-shaped inserts/annular springs are aligned parallel to the axis with imaginary extensions of the connector axes extending into the device housing.
