ABSTRACT:
A movable self-locking suture sleeve which can be securely positioned on the lead body of a pacing lead. The self-locking suture sleeve includes first and second cooperative rigid elements interconnected by a flexible tubing element. The tubing element is constructed from a woven mesh designed to constrict when stretched. A resilient element or spring is interposed between the first and second cooperative rigid elements, tending to force the cooperative rigid elements axially apart. Once the suture sleeve is moved into position, a self-locking feature allows the suture sleeve to secure itself to the lead body.
