CONNECTOR FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE

摘要

A header assembly (18) for coupling a cardiac lead (14) to a cardiac stimulator (12) is provided. The header assembly (18) includes a header (19) that has a bore (30) for receiving one end of the cardiac lead. The bore (30) has a first longitudinal axis. A connector housing (66) is coupled to the header and has a second bore (68) substantially aligned with the first bore. A biasing member (72) is disposed within the connector housing and has a portion projecting into the second bore to bias the end of the cardiac lead against the walls of the second bore. A set-screw (70) is threadedly coupled to the housing and is operable to secure the cardiac lead to the connector housing when tightened.
