A connector (500) for operably coupling a medical lead to an implantable medical device includes first and second pivotably coupled elongate members (510, 520). Each of the first and second elongate members has (i) a proximal end portion (512, 522), and (ii) a distal end portion (514, 524) for engaging the lead. The lead has a proximal end portion having a shoulder. The first and second elongate members are pivotably coupled such that the distal end portions of the first and second elongate members are moveable to allow insertion of the lead proximally past the distal end portions of the elongate members and to allow the distal end portions to engage the lead distal the shoulder. |
