Abstract
Disclosed herein is an implantable electronic device for use with implantable medical leads. The implantable medical leads are retained within the implantable electronic device with coated setscrews and, in particular, setscrews having a vapor-deposited coating, such as parylene. The coated setscrews have improved thread locking capabilities that resist unscrewing once tightened and, as a result, improve retention of implantable leads within the implantable electronic device.
