A header for use in implantable pulse generator devices. The header is part of electrical connector assembly having one or more openings designed to receive the terminal pin of an electrical lead wire or electrode. The header is designed to provide and sustain long-term electrical and mechanical lead wire connections between the electrodes of a terminal pin and the implantable pulse generator device.

Header for implantable pulse generator and method of making same

A multi-foil ringlet in combination with a cylindrical housing provides advantageous results when employed as a contact of a header of an implantable pulse generator. The multi-foil ringlet provides a superior electrical connection between the header and a lead pin inserted into the header.

Electrical connector ring for implantable medical device

A connector for electrically and mechanically coupling a lead pin to a pulse generator that includes a housing and a plunger having openings which can be aligned in an unlocked position to permit insertion and retraction of the lead pin. The connector also has a biasing member which moves and then holds the plunger in a locked position relative to the housing such that the housing and plunger pinch the lead pin thereby coupling the lead pin to the connector.

Lead lock for securing a lead to a pulse generator

A barrier sheet having a first side and a second side, a top edge, a bottom edge, and a laterally located midpoint, wherein the sheet is folded along its length to form a folded sheet defined by at least one fold with an adhesive strip positioned at a predetermined distance from the top and bottom edges, and preferably approximately at the sheet midpoint. When making a roll of barrier material, a barrier sheet material is provided and folded at least once laterally. The sheet then incorporates an adhesive strip applied to one side of the sheet at a predetermined distance from the top and bottom ends, preferably approximately at the midpoint. The adhesive strip is oriented lengthwise such that when the sheet is unrolled from the roll and unfolded, the strip will approximately bisect the sheet lengthwise. The sheet is then folded in a predetermined fashion, and rolled onto a roll. Further, when applying the barrier material to a structure, a predetermined length of folded sheet is extended and cut from the roll. The free, but still folded sheet is affixed to the structure by removing a backing material from the adhesive strip and pressing the product against the structure. The sheet can then be unfolded to form a 2-ply barrier.
