Abstract:
An implantable lead may have a distal assembly including a coupler and a fixation helix secured to the coupler. The coupler may include a helical groove that is configured to accommodate the fixation helix. The helical groove may facilitate attaching the fixation helix to the coupler by threading the fixation helix into the helical groove. A weld may provide a secondary attachment between the fixation helix and the coupler.
