A burr hole plug includes a base having a flange configured to rest on the skull of a patient and a sidewall configured to extend into a burr hole. The burr hole plug also includes a flexible cover configured to be disposed entirely over, and coupled to, the base. The flexible cover includes a skirt to fit around an outer perimeter of the base and a rim that fits inside the sidewall of the base. Between the skirt and the rim is an inset region having a shape corresponding to a shape of the flange of the base. Alternatively or additionally, the burr hole plug may include two lead retention members, each of the lead retention members including a lead engagement surface to engage and hold a lead; and a locking member for locking the two lead retention members in the base.
