Abstract: A system of connection of a probe terminal to a connection head of an implantable medical device. A connection terminal is assembled at the proximal end of a probe to be inserted in a cavity of a connector head of the housing of an implantable medical device. The connection terminal is covered on its external surface by a layer of anti-adhesion material, in particular a carbon film laid down by cathodic sputtering with a thickness less than 1 ?m. In the alternative, the layer can be applied on the interior wall of the cavity of the connector head.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the structure comprises, in addition to a body which is usually cylindrical or tubular, a plurality of tines which extend radially from the body. The tines, which are usually flat in shape and tapered, are positioned, relative to the body, with a keying angle other than zero and hence in a generally helical arrangement. The principal axes of the tines in question are preferably also inclined to the longitudinal axis of the body, giving rise to a generally anchor-like shape.
