Patent ID: 8140163

Claim:
A medical implantable pulse generator system comprising: a housing enclosing pulse generating circuitry; a plurality of feed-through wires coupled to the pulse generating circuitry and extending through the housing; a lead having a plurality of terminals; a header coupled to the housing, the header comprising: a port adapted to receive an end of the lead, an inner guide having a plurality of transverse bores positioned to correspond to the plurality of feed-through wires such that the inner guide is slidingly coupled to the plurality of feed-through wires, wherein the inner guide has an exterior longitudinal surface intersecting a portion of each bore of the plurality of transverse bores to create an exposed portion of each feed-through wire of the plurality of feed-through wires, an outer seal having an interior surface sized to support the plurality of terminals such that each terminal is maintained against the exposed portion of a corresponding feed-through wire, and a clip component coupled to the outer seal and biased to compress against the outer seal to create compression forces on the outer seal, and wherein a plurality of longitudinal curved exterior surfaces are defined on the outer seal and a plurality of longitudinal detents are defined by the clip component which are shaped to fit within the plurality of longitudinal curved exterior surfaces.
