ABSTRACT:
A body implantable electrical signal generator (100) having a signal generator (18) disposed in a housing (24) for generating an electrical signal which is coupled to a part of the body by at least one electrical lead (16) connected between the signal generator and the part of the body in accordance with the invention that includes a plurality of lead retainer (30) disposed at spaced apart locations with respect to an outside surface of the housing upon implantation into the body but are individually movable with respect to the housing during the surgical procedure, the lead retainers being formed from a flexible material which yields when a portion of the electrical lead is forced into the lead retainer to capture the electrical lead, but after yielding, retains the electrical lead within the retainer so that the electrical lead is not free to move with respect to the retainer after the electrical signal generator is implanted in the body.
