Abstract:
1. A cranial burr hole plug, comprising: a plug base configured for being mounted around a cranial burr hole, the plug base including an aperture through which an elongated medical device exiting the burr hole may pass; and a retainer configured for being positioned within the aperture of the plug base, the retainer including a retainer support, a slot formed in the retainer support for receiving the medical device, and a clamping mechanism having a clamping bar and at least one leg extending perpendicularly from the clamping bar and being slidably engaged with the retainer support, allowing the clamping bar to be slid from an open position that allows the medical device to be received in the slot to a closed position that secures the medical device within the slot, wherein the retainer support further comprises at least one tapered arm, each adjacent to one of the at least one leg, that at least partially restricts movement of the clamping mechanism by reducing the width of a lateral space in which the clamping mechanism slides as the clamping mechanism moves toward the closed position.
