Abstract
A lead adapter for a patient treatment system comprises a housing having a plurality of inlets, each inlet being segregated from an immediately adjacent inlet by a housing intermediate wall. A plurality of electrical contact assemblies residing in the housing are electrically connected to a respective one of a plurality of electrical contact posts. Each contact post has an exposed terminal portion residing in one of the plurality of inlets. A header is movably secured to the housing to selectively open and close the housing. With the header in an open position, an implantable lead is movable into a longitudinally extending opening in the header. The header is then manipulatable into a closed position to move an electrical contact of the lead into contact with a respective one of the electrical contact assemblies electrically connected to a respective one of the electrical contact posts. That way, the electrical contacts of the implantable lead are in electrical continuity with an exposed terminal portion of a respective one of the electrical contact posts.
