Abstract
A suture sleeve assembly is provided for placement around an elongated lead body, for example a cardiac pacing lead. The assembly anchors the lead body in position relative to the adjacent tissue, and comprises a tubular sleeve and a collet member. The collet member defines a plurality of axially extending legs residing in the bore of the tubular sleeve. The inner surfaces of the legs define frictional gripping members to engage a lead body positioned within the sleeve assembly. Structure is also provided for retaining the collet member in a position with the legs occupying the bore of the tubular sleeve.
