  • Patent number: 9345875
    Abstract: An instrument holding system for a drive system is provided. The system can include an array holder that defines at least one bore for receipt of an instrument therethrough. The at least one instrument can be adapted for insertion into an anatomy. The array holder can be in communication with the drive system to receive a driving force. The system can include a fixation plate operable to move relative to the array holder such that the fixation plate is in contact with at least a portion of the at least one instrument to couple the at least one instrument to the array holder to enable the at least one instrument to be driven by the driving force into the anatomy.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
    Inventors: Peter Appenrodt, Paulus Cornelis van Venrooij
  • Patent number: 8805539
    Abstract: A system for securing at least one electrode to an anatomy is provided. The system can include a first plate, which can include at least one first passage. The at least one first passage can be configured to receive a lead of the at least one electrode. The system can also include a second plate configured to move relative to the first plate. The movement of the second plate relative to the first plate can couple the second plate to the first plate such that the second plate at least partially occludes the at least one passage of the first plate to secure the lead of the at least one electrode to the anatomy.
