ABSTRACT:
This invention describes novel lead connectors for use with an implantable device, such as a cardiac pacemaker. In one aspect, the connectors use resilient spring action to mechanically retain the lad in the connector and maintain reliable electrical contact. In another aspect, the connector has a plurality of terminations which are grouped together and is enclosed in a biocompatible flexible insulator to form a connector strip. A remote lead assembly is also provided, which permits the implanted device to be remotely located from the connectors used to connect with leads coupled to implanted electrodes.
