Crimp connector for connecting a conductor cable and electrode of an implantable cardiac electrotherapy lead

摘要

Disclosed herein is a crimp connector for connecting to at least one cable conductor of an implantable cardiac electrotherapy lead. The crimp connector includes a thin-walled body, which has an outer surface, an inner surface, proximal and distal edges, a cavity, and a tab. The inner surface defines the cavity. The proximal and distal edges respectively define proximal and distal openings leading to the cavity. The tab projects outwardly from and extends along the outer surface in a direction generally transverse to an axis extending between the proximal and distal openings.
