Connector constructions and components thereof for implantable medical electrical systems
Abstract:
A connector assembly, for example, employed in an extension of an implantable medical electrical system, may be contained in a flexible insulative sleeve so that a bore thereof extends along a longitudinal axis of the sleeve with an opening being formed by a distal terminal end of the sleeve. The assembly includes a plurality of isolation ring components interspersed among a plurality of contact ring components, wherein each of a plurality of conductor components has a first end coupled to a corresponding contact ring component, and a curvature formed along a length thereof, which length extends proximally from the coupled first end and into a proximal portion of the sleeve. To facilitate routing of the conductor component lengths, either each isolation ring component may include at least one guide, or a flexible inner insulative sleeve of the assembly may have longitudinally extending channels formed in an outer surface thereof.
