Abstract: Various embodiments concern a suture sleeve for securing an implantable lead with a suture. The suture sleeve can comprise a tubular body having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, an exterior surface, and a lumen, the lumen sized to receive the implantable lead. The suture sleeve can further comprise a suture receiving area along the tubular body, the suture receiving area within a channel that extends around a circumference of the tubular body. An exterior surface of the suture receiving area can comprise a tear resistant feature. The tear resistant feature can be configured to resist initiation of a tear in the exterior surface from the suture. The lumen can comprise an inner surface configured to frictionally engage the implantable lead.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing implantable medical devices with one or more undermolded features are disclosed. An example method includes injection molding an annular-shaped member onto an inner surface of a sacrificial mold insert, and then undermolding an elongate medical device body directly to the member. The member is directly coupled to the device body without the use of adhesives or bonding agents, thus eliminating the presence of gaps or surface irregularities that can affect device performance.
