Abstract:
Systems and methods which provide a bulkhead anchor configuration in which an anchor body includes flexure finger members and a radial bulkhead operable in cooperation to impart a radial compressive force to a corresponding lead body are described. A first portion of a bulkhead anchor body may comprise a plurality of flexure finger members disposed in a corolla configuration forming an anchor lumen through which a lead body may be inserted. A second portion of the bulkhead anchor body may comprise a radial bulkhead having a flexure profile configured to operatively engage the flexure finger members. A locking mechanism may be used to retain the first and second portions of the bulkhead anchor in their relative positions such that the radial compressive force is maintained upon the lead body indefinitely.
