Abstract

See full text

An implantable medical system for anchoring a medical lead implanted in a patient includes a medical lead, an anchoring device received coaxially over the medical lead, and at least one fastener secured circumferentially about the anchoring device to cause compression of the anchoring device on the medical lead. The anchoring device includes an elastomeric sleeve having a substantially elongate, hollow, and tubular body and a compression governor coaxially secured about the elastomeric sleeve. The compression governor is adapted to limit compressive forces exerted on the lead by the anchoring device at a predetermined limit and provides a visual indicator that the predetermined limit has been reached.
