A leadless neurostimulation device having a header unit including at least one primary electrode having a contact surface that defines an external surface of the leadless neurostimulation device, a housing including a secondary electrode positioned on the same side of the leadless neurostimulation device as the at least one primary electrode, and a anchor device including at least one suture point for securing the leadless neurostimulation device to patient tissue or at least one protrusion nub configured to create mechanical resistance that impedes relative movement between wherein the leadless neurostimulation device and the patient tissue when implanted, where the at least one primary electrode and the secondary electrode are configured to transmit an electrical stimulation signal therebetween to provide electrical stimulation therapy to a target nerve of a patient.

Minimally invasive leadless neurostimulation device

Seals used within lead bores of implantable medical devices for creating a seal to implantable medical leads inserted into the lead bores include an inner cylinder that engages the lead body. The inner cylinder is surrounded by a gap to either an outer cylinder of the seal or to surrounding structures of the implantable medical device. The inner cylinder has freedom of movement within the gap such that movement of the lead body that is off-axis relative to a centerline of the lead bore causes movement of the inner cylinder that is providing the seal. In this manner, the seal engagement to the lead body is maintained during this off-axis movement of the lead body.
