Abstract
A stimulation lead anchoring system includes a lead anchor and a removable inner core. The lead anchor includes an anchor body that includes a lead lumen that extends longitudinally along the anchor body and is configured and arranged to receive a portion of an electrical stimulation lead. The removable inner core includes a core body that includes an inner lumen that extends longitudinally along the core body. The lead anchor and removable inner core are configured and arranged to expand the anchor body when a portion of the core body is inserted into the lead lumen to facilitate receiving the portion of the electrical stimulation lead into the lead lumen and inner lumen and slidably positioning the lead anchor along the lead. The anchor body is configured and arranged to engage the portion of the electrical stimulation lead upon withdrawal of the core body from the lead lumen.
