ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a universal connector for connecting component devices of an implantable medical treatment system. The universal connector includes a male and a female interface adapted to connectively mate two devices of the implantable medical treatment system. A locking flange and recess are provided, as well as a locking shoulder and ridge combination, to securely connect the mated male and female interfaces. When mated and securely joined, the universal connector of the present invention allows a device of the implantable medical treatment system to interface with any other device of the implantable medical treatment system for simplified handling and bi-directional communications.
