Abstract:
1. Method for mounting a medical implantable lead to an organ inside a human or animal body for monitoring and/or controlling the organ, comprising: providing a medical implantable lead comprising a helix in a distal end, an inner wire coil disposed inside of and along essentially the entire length of the lead and which is rotatably arranged in relation to an outer sleeve, a connector in a proximal end which is connectible to an electronic device for monitoring and/or controlling the activity in the organ, the connector comprising a connector pin, which is in engagement with the inner wire coil and which is rotatably journaled inside a connector housing; inserting the medical implantable lead into the body such that a distal end abuts the organ to be monitored and/or controlled; attaching the lead to the organ by screwing the helix into the tissue of the organ; and relieving possible built up potential energy in the inner coil, due to over torque of the same during screwing in of the helix, by applying a braking effect by means of a friction brake directly contacting the connector pin.
