  • Cardiac lead with improved polymer-to-metal joint
    Patent number: 6047217
    Abstract: A cardiac lead joint assembly is provided for connecting a polymeric sleeve to a tubular metallic structure, such as the tubular metallic connector that connects to the header of a cardiac stimulator. The joint assembly includes a tubular metallic member, which may be the tubular connector, an electrode, or some other structure in the lead. The tubular metallic member has an annular groove formed on the exterior surface thereof.
