ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a torque handle for use in inserting and positioning a pacing lead and guide wire, such as within a coronary vein. The torque handle is a handle with a lumen extending therethrough. A first clamping arrangement is located on the handle and receives the guide wire therethrough. A second clamping arrangement is also located on the handle. The second clamping arrangement sized to receive the body of the lead therethrough. In use, the physician determines whether torque is to be transmitted along the lead, the guide wire or both. Torque is transmitted by clamping or loosening the designated clamping arrangement around the lead, the guide wire or both, and then rotating the handle. As the handle is rotated, torque is transmitted along the length of the clamped lead or guide wire or both.
