This device is approved for use in the United States.

Swift-Lock™ Anchor

The Swift-Lock anchor is a highly radiopaque, mechanical locking anchor that combines ease of use with secure lead fixation. Engaged through a simple twist, the anchor provides visual and tactile confirmation when it is secured to the lead, saving time and reducing technique variability.

Key Features

  • Intuitive locking mechanism requires a simple 90-degree twist to lock into place
  • The anchor can be disengaged and repositioned on the lead if necessary
  • Eliminates the need for sutures or medical adhesive to fasten the anchor to the lead
  • Extended distal strain relief reinforces the lead where it exits the vertebral column, reducing lead fatigue and subsequent fracture, as well as migration1,2
