A connector for coupling medical tubing (e.g., a catheter) to an
implantable medical device. The connector, in one embodiment, may include
a retaining member surrounding an optional housing. The retaining member
may have at least one locking finger that extends through at least one
corresponding window in the housing and selectively engages a stem of the
medical device to retain the end of the catheter relative thereto.
Application of a compressive force applied to the retaining member may
cause the locking finger(s) to withdraw from the stem and release the
catheter.
