ABSTRACT:
A surgical dressing used to separate and hold electrical leads or wires is disclosed. Following heart surgery, negative and positive electrical leads may be attached to a patient's heart in pairs and left protruding from an incision or incisions in the patient's chest so the patient's heartbeat can be stabilized by external means without reopening the patient's chest. These electrical leads are wrapped around themselves by medical personnel but frequently become tangled and must be separated before they can be attached to a pacemaker machine in an emergency. The dressing disclosed is a booklet which uses compartments in the form of pockets or pages for receiving the electrical leads and holding them in a tangle-free, separated condition for easy, rapid access and use in an emergency.
