ABSTRACT:
The cardiac pacer lead disclosed herein may be secured or effectively sutured to cardiac tissue by ejecting a length of malleable wire through a tubular die having, at its distal end, a curved central bore which imparts a curvature of essentially predetermined radius to the wire. Passing through the tissue, the wire forms a circular loop or suture which can retain the lead in the desired position for stimulation.
