1. An anchor system for use with respect to a medical device lead, the anchor system comprising:
an anchor body having a plurality of inelastic members and an elastomeric material forming an anchor lumen configured for insertion of a lead body therein, wherein the elastomeric material comprises a fluted elastomeric casing forming the anchor lumen, wherein inelastic members of the plurality of inelastic members are disposed within alternate flutes of the fluted elastomeric casing to provide the plurality of inelastic members in an interleaved configuration with the alternate flutes of the fluted elastomeric casing, and wherein the plurality of inelastic members and the elastomeric material are configured to cooperate to impart a radial compressive force to the lead body; and
one or more slip rings configured to encircle the plurality of inelastic members and cause the radial compressive force to be imparted upon the lead body by the anchor body.
