Abstract: A lead anchor for neuromodulation includes a solid anchor block having at least one opening and a lumen. The opening is connected with the lumen and has a longitudinal axis. The lumen is configured to receive a portion of the neuromodulation lead. An anchor body at least partially covers the anchor block. A fixing element has a fastening portion and a head portion. To achieve a lead anchor that is more robust against axially acting forces, so that primarily a slippage of the lead or a slippage of the lead anchor can be prevented, the fastening portion is configured to be inserted along the axis into the opening to fix the portion of the neuromodulation lead. The head portion includes at least one first stop feature having a dimension in a radial direction with respect to the axis that is greater than a diameter of the opening.

Abstract: A lead anchor for a neuromodulation lead has an anchor body that receives a portion of the lead. A mesh is arranged so as to at least partially surround the portion of the lead when the portion of the lead is received in the anchor body.

Abstract: A header for an implantable medical device includes at least an antenna and a receptacle for receiving a signal transmission line. Either one or a combination of the antenna and the receptacle are encased in a dielectric material. The dielectric material can be one of or include one of a polymer, a ceramic material, polyoxymethylene, polysulfone, polybutylene terephthalate. A medical device and a method for assembling a medical device are also provided.

Abstract: An implantable device comprises a housing having an oblong shape extending along a longitudinal axis, and a coil arrangement for communicating with an external device, the coil arrangement comprising a coil winding and a bobbin on which the coil winding is arranged. The coil arrangement is received in the housing such that the coil winding and the bobbin extend along a transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal axis, wherein the coil winding is wound on the bobbin about the transverse direction and has an elongated shape along the transverse direction.
