Abstract
An anchor holding tool is used for holding, during an implantation procedure, a lead anchor device. The lead anchor device is used for anchoring a lead in a patient. The anchor holding tool includes a holding tip for engaging with the lead anchor device, and a handle connected to the holding tip. The holding tip generally extends along a longitudinal axis for receiving the lead anchor device along the longitudinal axis on the holding tip. The handle extends at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis from the holding tip. The holding tip forms an inner face shaped to abut with an anchor body of the lead anchor device. The inner face includes a concave shape extending about the longitudinal axis for receiving the anchor body of the lead anchor device.
