A lead retention assembly includes first, second and third retention
members. The first retention member defines a first opening configured to
receive a lead body. The second retention member is longitudinally spaced
apart from the first retention member and defines a second opening
configured to receive the lead body. The first and second retention
members are substantially aligned along a first axis. The third retention
member defines a third opening configured to receive the lead body. The
third retention is disposed between the first and second retention
members and is biased in a position such that the third opening is
substantially centered on a second axis. Upon application of a
compressive force, the third retention member is moveable to a position
such that the first, second, and third openings are substantially aligned
along a common axis, allowing the lead body to be inserted within the
first, second and third openings.
