ABSTRACT:
A cardiac stimulator lead is provided. The cardiac stimulator lead includes a connector for connecting to a cardiac stimulator and a flexible tubular sleeve that has a first end coupled to the connector and a second end. An electrode has a proximal end that is inserted into the second end of the sleeve. An annular member is disposed around the proximal end and the second end and is deformed to clamp the second end to the proximal end. A conductor wire is coupled between the connector and the electrode. The deformed annular member eliminates reliance on an adhesive-to-metal molecular bond as the sole or primary mechanism for securing the distal end of a lead sleeve to the tip electrode. Manufacturing and assembly time may be significantly reduced.
