Abstract
An anchoring device that is configured to receive a wire lead during a surgical procedure and which includes an anchor and a frame. The anchor defines a longitudinal axis and is configured for insertion into an access site in a patient. The anchor includes a first body portion and a second body portion that is pivotably connected to the first body portion such that the anchoring device is reconfigurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The frame is connected to the anchor and is configured to facilitate reconfiguration of the anchoring device between the open configuration and the closed configuration.

An anchoring device configured to receive a wire lead during a surgical procedure, the anchoring device comprising:
- an anchor defining a longitudinal axis and configured for insertion into an access site in a patient, wherein the anchor includes:
- a first body portion;
- and
- a second body portion movably connected to the first body portion such that the anchoring device is reconfigurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration;
- and
- a frame connected to the anchor and configured to facilitate reconfiguration of the anchoring device between the open configuration and the closed configuration,
- wherein the frame includes a first frame portion connected to the first body portion and a second frame portion connected to the second body portion, the first frame portion is pivotable in relation to the first body portion, and the second frame portion is pivotable in relation to the second body portion.
An anchoring device configured to receive a wire lead during a surgical procedure, the anchoring device comprising:
- an anchor defining a longitudinal axis and configure for insertion into an access site in a patient, wherein the anchor includes:
- a first body portion;
- and
- a second body portion movably connected to the first body portion such that the anchoring device is reconfigurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration;
- and
- a frame connected to the anchor and configured to facilitate reconfiguration of the anchoring device between the open configuration and the closed configuration;
- wherein the access site is a burr hole in a skull of a patient, wherein the first and second body portions define inner walls, wherein in the open configuration, the inner walls of the first and second body potions are separated, and in the closed configuration, the inner walls of the first and second body portions are positioned in adjacent relation such that the first and second body portions collectively define passageway configured to receive the wire lead;
- wherein the anchor includes a depression in communication with the passageway and configured to receive the wire lead to inhibit excess force from being applied thereto.
