Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) system 100 is shown. The CRM system may include a pulse generator 102 for delivering electrical stimulation to the heart 104 . The pulse generator 102 may be implanted subcutaneously at an implant site or in a pocket in the patient's chest or abdomen. Pulse generator 102 may be connected to implantable lead 106 . Implantable lead 106 may conduct electrical signals between pulse generator 102 and heart 104 or other tissue. Implantable guide 106 can include a guide body 110 , a proximal end 112 , and a distal end 114 . The proximal end 112 of the implantable lead 106 can be mechanically and electrically connected to the pulse generator 102 . In various embodiments, implantable guide 106 may enter the vasculature through a vascular access site formed in the wall of the left subclavian vein or elsewhere. The implantable guide 106 can extend through the left brachiocephalic vein and the superior vena cav...

Abstract

Various embodiments concern a lead comprising a cable conductor and a coil electrode having one or more filars, the one or more filars wound in a helical pattern. The lead can further include an inner fitting axially aligned with the coil electrode. The inner fitting can comprise external threading and a slot extending along the inner fitting. The slot can receive a portion of the cable conductor. The lead can include an outer tubular fitting having a lumen with internal threading. Each of the coil electrode and the inner fitting can be partially received within the lumen, both of the external threading and the one or more filars threadedly engaged with the internal threading. The cable conductor can be pinched in the slot to mechanically connect the cable conductor to the inner fitting. The pinching can be supported by the outer tubular fitting.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application 61 / 752,782, filed January 15, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to implantable leads. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to connecting cable conductors within implantable leads. Background technique [0004] When the human heart is functioning normally, the human heart maintains its own inherent rhythm and is able to pump sufficient blood to the circulatory system throughout the body. However, some individuals have an irregular heart rhythm called fibrillation or arrhythmia, which can lead to an inappropriate heart rhythm. One way to treat cardiac arrhythmias includes the use of a pulse generator (PG), such as a pacemaker, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), or a cardiac resynchronization (CRT) device. Such devices are typi...
