Abstract

In one example, a medical device includes a housing having a channel configured to receive an electrical lead. The medical device can further have a rotatable member having a longitudinal axis about which the rotatable member is configured to rotate. The rotatable member can have an outer surface having a first radius from the longitudinal axis. The rotatable member can also have a cam lobe extending farther from the longitudinal axis than the first radius of the outer surface. The cam lobe can have a substantially planar surface parallel to the longitudinal axis. The substantially planar surface of the cam lobe can be configured to retain the electrical lead within the channel. The medical device can further have a slider having a central portion substantially parallel with the cam lobe. The slider can further have a slider protrusion on the central portion of the slider.
