NERVE CUFF ELECTRODE LOCKING MECHANISM

A lead comprising a lead body, a lead connector terminal affixed to a proximal end of the lead body, and a cuff body affixed to a distal end of the lead body, an electrode contact affixed to the cuff body, and an electrical conductor between the connector terminal and electrode contact. The lead further comprises a strap extending from a first region of the cuff body, a buckle disposed on a second region of the cuff body, and a locking feature, e.g., protuberance, ring, or wrinkle, associated with the strap. The locking feature is configured for being pulled through the buckle to dispose the cuff body around a nerve in response to a tensile force applied to the strap. The locking feature is configured for abutting an edge of the buckle in response to a release of the tensile force to secure the cuff body around the nerve.
