Abstract: A cable assembly for a patient treatment system comprises an electrical cable having a proximal connector configured to connect to an external electrical stimulator device and a distal connector including a distal housing having an open distal end. The distal housing houses a manifold that supports a plurality of spring-loaded electrical contact assemblies aligned in two rows and being electrically connected to a corresponding one of a plurality of electrical contacts in the proximal connector. The housing distal open end is closed by a header that is movable between a closed position resting on the housing open end and an open position spaced there above. The header has a pair of side-by-side longitudinally extending openings. With the header in the open position, a practitioner holds the distal connector in one hand and with the other hand inserts the distal electrical contacts of one or two therapy delivery devices into the longitudinally extending openings. The practitioner then moves the header into the closed position to bring the distal electrical contacts of the therapy delivery devices into firm electrical contact with the spring-loaded electrical contact assemblies housed inside the distal housing.

Abstract: A lead adapter for a patient treatment system comprises a housing having a plurality of inlets, each inlet being segregated from an immediately adjacent inlet by a housing intermediate wall. A plurality of electrical contact assemblies residing in the housing are electrically connected to a respective one of a plurality of electrical contact posts. Each contact post has an exposed terminal portion residing in one of the plurality of inlets. A header is movably secured to the housing to selectively open and close the housing. With the header in an open position, an implantable lead is movable into a longitudinally extending opening in the header. The header is then manipulatable into a closed position to move an electrical contact of the lead into contact with a respective one of the electrical contact assemblies electrically connected to a respective one of the electrical contact posts. That way, the electrical contacts of the implantable lead are in electrical continuity with an exposed terminal portion of a respective one of the electrical contact posts.
