SLIP RING ANCHOR

Abstract: systems and methods which provide a slip ring anchor configuration in which an anchor body includes inelastic members and a fluted elastomeric casing operable in cooperation to impart a radial compressive force to a corresponding lead body are described. a slip ring anchor body may comprise a plurality of inelastic members alternately disposed in flutes of a fluted elastomeric casing portion of the anchor body. the fluted elastomeric casing may form an anchor lumen through which a lead body may be inserted. once a slip ring anchor is disposed at a desired position axially along the lead body, manipulation of one or more slip rings may be used to cause a radial compressive force to be imparted upon the lead body. a slip ring actuator tool may be used to manipulate a slip ring between unlocked and locked positions.
