ABSTRACT:
A simple and reliable system for anchoring a lead to the sacrum. The system provides a pliant slid-on anchoring sleeve featuring a suturing groove for lead fixation and a base having screw tabs for anchoring the sleeve and thus the lead to the sacrum. The base is reinforced, preferably through a mesh, to prevent tearing caused by screw forces. In addition an elongate washer may be further used in conjunction with screws to anchor the system to bone.
