ABSTRACT:
A termination for a carbon fiber implantable lead. A terminal assembly includes a hollow terminal member having lateral ports through which carbon fiber bundles pass. Exposed tips of the carbon fiber bundles are folded back and held against the exterior surface of the terminal member by a housing member. The housing member frictionally engages the exposed fiber tips. A stylet entry guide member is frictionally engaged with the interior of the end of the terminal member. One end of the guide member is coupled to a stylet tube which passes through the terminal member and the lead. This configuration provides a good electrical coupling between the terminal member and the carbon fiber bundles, as well as provides an axial passage through which a stylet may be inserted.
