Abstract

A removable adaptor sleeve for connecting an electrode lead having a low profile plug to a pulse generator having a high profile socket. The adaptor sleeve fits over the plug end of the electrode lead so as to provide a high profile plug configuration. The sleeve has a side wall which includes axial grooves terminating at the apex of corresponding V-shaped notches. The notches and axial grooves allow the adaptor sleeve to be torn away so as to expose for use the low profile plug end of the electrode lead, as desired.
