1. A suture sleeve for anchoring the leads adapted to be used with an implantable medical device, the sleeve including flexible side walls and transversely spaced apart, longitudinally extending lead receiving channels, at least a portion of the length of said walls having confronting, spaced apart edges defining a longitudinally extending opening, the exterior surface of said portion of said wall having at least one groove extending about the outer surface in a generally transverse plane, the sleeve being adapted to receive the leads through the longitudinal opening defined by the spaced apart edges of the side walls, whereby a suture placed and tied in each of said at least one groove compresses said sleeve about said leads in gripping relationship therewith, thereby bringing said confronting edges into engagement thereby preventing further compression of said sleeve to prevent damage to the leads.
