ABSTRACT:
A suture sleeve for anchoring the lead body of an implantable medical device, such as a cardiac pacemaker, includes an elongated tubular member having a lumen for receiving the lead body. The tubular member has external threads for receiving a threaded collar. The tubular member and collar have engaging, tapered surfaces whereby tightening of the collar on the tubular member compresses a portion of the tubular member into gripping engagement with the lead body. The tubular member and collar have surfaces which come into contact upon tightening of the collar so as to limit compression of the lead body and thereby prevent damage thereto.
