1. An implantable medical device comprising:
- one or more electrical stimulation generators;
a housing that contains the one or more electrical stimulation generators;
a first connector block forming a first connection port with a first terminal configured to electrically connect a first medical lead to at least one of the one or more electrical stimulation generators; and
a second connector block forming a second connection port with a second terminal configured to electrically connect a second medical lead to at least one of the one or more electrical stimulation generators,wherein the first connector block is not in direct contact with the second connector block, andwherein the one or more electrical stimulation generators are configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a patient via each of the first medical lead electrically connected to the first terminal and the second medical lead electrically connected to the second terminal.
