Cinch™ Anchor

This device is approved for use in the United States and select international markets.

The Cinch anchor, with its titanium retention sleeve and extended distal strain relief, is designed to reduce lead migration and breakage.1–3 As an added benefit, it is entirely radiopaque, allowing for easy identification under fluoroscopy.

Key Features

  • Titanium retention sleeve provides a holding force significantly higher than that of conventional silicone anchors1
  • Extended distal strain relief reinforces the lead where it exits the vertebral column, helping reduce lead fatigue and subsequent lead fracture2,3
  • Radiopacity facilitates identification under fluoroscopy
  • White color provides excellent contrast against tissue
  • Low-profile design intended to enhance patient comfort
