ADJUSTABLE WIRE LENGTH STYLET HANDLE

摘要

A stylet-lead assembly including a therapy delivery element and a stylet. The therapy delivery element includes a proximal end with a plurality of electrical contacts adapted to electrically couple with an implantable pulse generator, a distal end with a plurality of electrodes electrically coupled to the electrical contacts, and a lumen having a lumen length extending from the proximal end to almost the distal end. The stylet handle includes a locking insert has a first channel adapted to receive the proximal end of the stylet wire. The portion of the stylet wire extending beyond a proximal end of the locking insert includes at least one bend. A stylet handle has an opening at a distal end adapted to compressively engage the proximal end of the stylet wire to the locking insert, such that an exposed portion of the stylet wire measured from the distal end of the stylet wire to a distal end of the locking insert generally comprises the lumen length.
