Abstract
An implantable cardiac electrotherapy lead is disclosed herein. The lead may include an electrode on a distal portion of the lead, a conductor extending proximally through the lead from the electrode, and a crimp connector coupling a distal end of the conductor to the electrode. The connector may include a body with an outer surface, an inner surface, proximal and distal ends, a cavity, and at least one splice opening. The inner surface defines the cavity, the proximal and distal ends respectively define proximal and distal openings leading to the cavity, and the at least one splice opening extends from the outer surface to the inner surface and is oriented generally transverse to an axis extending between the proximal and distal openings.
