Abstract
A vein suture collar for anchoring an electrode lead to a vein in which the lead is inserted includes a sleeve member having three longitudinally spaced circumferential suture grooves in the exterior surface and a raised web area formed on the interior sleeve surface radially inward of each groove. The three raised web areas are angularly spaced about the sleeves axis and a longitudinal slit through the sleeve thickness can be provided. The slit collar can be separated at the slit and used to enclose the portion of the vein having the inserted electrode.
