ABSTRACT:
A lead connector is disclosed for connecting cardiac pacing leads to a pulse generator through a cable. The lead connector is capable of receiving either in-line or bifurcated leads. The electrodes of the leads need not be of the same diameter due to the construction of a clamping assembly which clamps the lead electrodes to the connector electrodes. The clamping assembly includes a threaded shaft which receives a threaded nut that is retained in a clamping block. The clamping block is constructed so that it may rock relative to the shaft on a domed outer surface of the nut, thereby allowing clamping arms on the clamping block to press against the lead electrodes even if they are of different diameters. A second version of the connector has two clamping blocks and is capable of receiving either a bifurcated lead or an in-line lead, or alternately, both ventricular and atrial leads of either type at the same time.
