In a suture sleeve and implantation method for one or more implantable leads, the suture sleeve is adapted to be inserted into a vein to secure and protect the one or more leads from damage when a suture thread is positioned and tied around the vein in the region over the suture sleeve to secure the suture sleeve and prevent bleeding from the vein. The suture sleeve has two or more lead receiving through holes into each of which a medical implantable lead may be inserted. The suture sleeve is formed such that at least all of the holes except one are provided with sealing means, which easily can be broken or removed when inserting a lead into the hole such that, when inserted into a vein, bleeding is prevented from a through hole of the sleeve by the sealing means even if no lead is positioned in the hole. The invention also relates to a method for implanting one or more electrical leads into a vein.
