ABSTRACT:
A device for affixing an electrode cable to an apparatus is disclosed, suitable for affixing an electrode cable for use in vivo to an implantable medical apparatus for emitting electrical pulses, such as a pacemaker or a defibrillator, wherein the electrode cable has a pin-like proximal end. The apparatus is provided with a connector part at which the affixing device is located to mate with the proximal end of the electrode cable. The affixing device includes a spring element which is disposed substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the proximal end of the electrode cable when the proximal end is contained in the connector part. The spring element carries clamping elements, and the spring element is movable between first and second positions. When the spring element is in the first position, the clamping elements are caused to be disposed so as to permit the proximal end of the electrode cable to pass the clamping elements, and when the spring element is in the second position, the clamping elements are caused to engage the proximal end of the electrode cable to affix the proximal end in the connector part. The affixing device has a simple structure, which is inexpensive to manufacture, and which is simple to handle during implantation while still providing good and reliable electrical contact between the electrode cable and the apparatus.
