  • a medical lead;

    an anchoring device received coaxially over the medical lead, the anchoring device including;

    an elastomeric sleeve having a substantially elongate, hollow, and tubular body; and

    a compression governor substantially more rigid than the elastomeric sleeve coaxially secured to the elastomeric sleeve, the compression governor defining an inner bore having an effective diameter, the compression governor being adapted to limit compression at a pre-selected minimum effective diameter to limit compressive forces exerted on the medical lead by the anchoring device; and

    at least one fastener secured circumferentially about the anchoring device to cause compression of the anchoring device on the medical lead.
