Abstract
A suture sleeve for securing the leads of a multiple lead implantable medical device includes lead gripping and anchoring portions. The sleeve has a pair of flexible side walls and longitudinally extending channels for receiving the leads. The side walls of at least the gripping portion have longitudinally extending, confronting, spaced apart edges and comprises two layers one of which is formed of a soft plastic such as silicone and the other of which is formed of a harder but flexible material such as polysulfone. Sutures placed and tied about the gripping portion compress the sleeve about the leads. Tightening of the sutures brings the confronting edges of the gripping portion of the sleeve into engagement thereby precluding further compression of the sleeve and preventing damage to the leads.
