Abstract
A shield for the conductors extending from an implantable device, provides a cover for the conductors and protects them against being dislodged or moved, by scratching, physical activity, skin pressure or other circumstance. The cover is resilient and flexible and is made of a fabric laminated between layers of an elastomer, such as silicone rubber. The cover is fixedly attached at one end with respect to the implantable device. The cover is suturable to hold the implantable device, cover and conductors in place, thereby providing stabilization. The shield is disposed over the location where the conductors extend from the implanted device and provides strain relief for the conductors and protects them from breakage at that very fragile location. The shield partially or totally encircles the conductors for a short distance.
