ABSTRACT:
A self-sealing septum for isolating the setscrew used to secure a pacing lead connector pin to an implantable medical device such as a cardiac pacemaker. The septum comprises a generally cylindrical elastomer body having a central axis and a self-sealing passage coaxial with the axis for receiving a tool such as a hex key for driving the setscrew. The body of the septum contains a generally ring-shaped stiffener element for providing internal support and preventing damage to the septum passage caused by insertion of the hex key.
