摘要：A protective device includes a cap member extending between a nose endhaving a chamber therein for freely receiving the distal electrode of an implantablemedical lead having a plurality of outward angularly extending tines and a tail end and anintegral conical shield defining a cavity at least partially protectively enveloping the tines.Retention members releasably attach the cap member to the distal electrode so as toinhibit its unintended removal and include a plurality of resilient elongated fingers of asilicone elastomer at the tail end equal in number to the tines at circumferentially spacedlocations about a longitudinal axis of the device. Each adjacent pair of fingers is

constructed so as the snappingly receive and capture the tine in engagement therewithsuch that removal of the tine from the retention recess by movement of the cap memberin the opposite direction is positively inhibited by the transverse edges.
