Abstract: A locking mechanism for a connector to an implantable controller includes a housing of the implantable controller defining a housing bore sized to receive the connector. A set screw is releasably coupled to the housing and disposed at an oblique angle with respect to the housing, the set screw being configured to engage at least a portion of the connector when the set screw is fully inserted within the housing to lock the connector within the housing.

Abstract: A connector for a medical device. The connector including an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end. The connector further including a strut, a plurality of conductors, and a plurality of electrical contacts. The strut being disposed within the elongate body and defining a plurality of channels. Each of the plurality of channels having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end. The plurality of conductors being disposed within the elongate body and are sized and configured to be received within the plurality of channels and extend between the proximal end and the distal end. The plurality of electrical contacts being coupled to an outer surface of the elongate body and in communication with the plurality of conductors.

Abstract: A connector block for an implantable controller. The connector block includes a first pair of side-by-side bores extending distally from a proximal end of the connector block and defining a major longitudinal axis. A second pair of side-by-side bores extends distally from a distal end of the first pair of side-by-side bores, each of the first pair of side-by-side bores defining a first diameter and each of the second pair of side-by-side bores defining a second diameter less than the first diameter, each pair of the second pair of side-by-side lead bores include a setscrew bore sized to receive a setscrew and being transverse to the major longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An implantable controller for an implantable medical device includes a metallic housing defining an enclosure. Processing circuitry is disposed within the enclosure and configured to control operation of the implantable medical device. A first aluminum encasement is disposed within the enclosure. A first piece of graphite is disposed within the aluminum encasement. A pressure sensitive adhesive is disposed between an internal surface of the metallic housing and the aluminum encasement.
