Abstract
A lead anchor includes a lead passageway defined along a central body and configured to receive a lead. The central body includes a twistable region that reversibly twists and stretches. First and second hubs are coupled to opposing ends of the central body. The first hub is rotatable relative to the second hub about the central body. Rotation of the first hub relative to the second hub causes twisting of the twistable region. When a lead is inserted into the lead passageway and the twistable region is twisted into a twisted configuration the central body compresses against the lead to retain the lead within the lead passageway. A locking mechanism transitions the hubs between an unlocked position, where the first hub is rotatable relative to the second hub, and a locked position, where the hubs resist rotation relative to one another.
