<p>An improved connection system for coupling a device such as a pacemaker (121), cardioverter, defibrillator, nerve stimulator, muscle stimulator, implantable monitor or other medical device to a medical lead (190) is disclosed. The connection system includes a coupling member (100) designed to couple to the proximal end of the lead. This coupling member, which includes an inner lumen sized to form a press fit around the proximal end of the lead body, may be of a generally tubular construction. This coupling member includes connector means to enable a connector pin at the proximal end of the lead to mechanically and electrically couple to a device. The connector means may further include means for coupling both mechanically and electrically to a ring connector on the proximal end of a multi-polar lead. An insertion member may (110) also be provided to allow the lead to be more easily inserted within the inner lumen of the coupling member.</p> |
