Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector assembly of an implantable medical electrical lead includes insulation and conductor segments, which may be formed together in a molded subassembly. The insulation segment includes at least one sealing surface, and the conductor segment includes at least one contact surface and a shank electrically common therewith. The shank has a smaller diameter than a uniform outer diameter of the assembly, which is defined by the sealing and contact surfaces, and the smaller diameter is sized to receive a coiled proximal end of a lead conductor mounted thereabout. The connector assembly may include another conductor segment that has a third contact surface, active or inactive, extending between third and fourth sealing surfaces of another insulation segment of the assembly; if active, a distal shank of the segment is electrically common with the third contact surface, and sized to receive a coiled proximal end of another lead conductor mounted thereabout.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A connector assembly for an implantable medical electrical lead, the assembly having a uniform outer diameter conforming to a requirement for mating with a connector receptacle of an implantable medical device, the assembly extending along a longitudinal axis, from a proximal end thereof to a distal end thereof, and the assembly comprising: an insulation segment including a first sealing surface extending distally from the proximal end of the assembly,…
