ABSTRACT:
A connector for clamping lead bodies into connector bores in implantable medical devices has several alternative embodiments. In each there is a handle that has a fixed relationship with an axle member that connects through the connector block perpendicular to the long axes of the connector bores for the leads. A large, manually operable flag or handle member clicks into position to lock the lead in by positioning a saddle portion against the lead body in the bore. The handle may be split into legs or the axle may be split into legs and the space between the legs filled with medical adhesive if desired. Likewise a soft material elastomer may surround the saddle portion to prevent rough contact with the lead body.
