Medical lead adaptor assembly with retainer

A medical lead adaptor assembly system, comprising:

• a lead adaptor assembly;
• a cardiac lead inserted within a patient and having a connector pin electrically coupling the cardiac lead and the lead adaptor assembly;
• an external medical device performing cardiac stimulation and monitoring of the patient through the lead adaptor assembly and the cardiac lead;
• and
• a retaining flange, positioned on the lead adaptor assembly, having a retaining slot receiving and retaining the cardiac lead to substantially prevent corruption of the electrical coupling of the cardiac lead and the lead adaptor assembly.

A medical lead adaptor assembly for making an electrical connection between a plurality of cardiac leads inserted within a patient and an external medical device, each of the plurality of cardiac leads including a lead connector pin for electrically coupling the plurality of cardiac leads to the lead adaptor assembly, the lead adaptor assembly comprising:

• a housing having a top portion and a bottom portion;
• a lead receptacle portion extending along a vertical plane extending between the top portion and the bottom portion;
• an external device lead extending from the housing to a distal external connector end assembly electrically coupling the lead adaptor assembly to the external device;
• a first lead receptacle, positioned on the lead receptacle portion, receiving a first connector pin of a first cardiac lead of the plurality of cardiac leads to electrically couple the first connector pin to the first lead receptacle to electrically couple the first cardiac lead to the external device through the lead adaptor assembly;
• a second lead receptacle, positioned on the lead receptacle portion, receiving a second connector pin of a second cardiac lead of the plurality of cardiac leads to electrically couple the second connector pin to the second lead receptacle to electrically couple the second cardiac lead to the external device through the lead adaptor assembly;
• a retaining flange extending from bottom portion of the housing and having a first retaining slot receiving and retaining the first cardiac lead and a second retaining slot receiving and retaining the second cardiac lead, wherein the retaining flange extends from the bottom portion at an angle from the vertical plane to substantially prevent corruption of the electrical coupling of the first cardiac lead to the first lead receptacle and the second cardiac lead to the second lead receptacle.
