Abstract
An electrical lead for implantation in a patient comprises separate first and second lead portions having conductor wire therein. The leads are electrically connected at respective ends within a lead anchor member. In accordance with this invention, the lead anchor has means for fixed retention of the first and second lead portions in electrical connection therewith so that an electrical signal passing through the lead passes through a conductive portion of the lead anchor between the first and second lead portions. The lead anchor has means permitting suture retention in a desired implanted position in the patient.
