ABSTRACT:
To avoid irritation, infection or rejection caused by relatively sharp corner edges, protruding catheter connection heads and squat cylinder shapes of pacemakers implanted in a skin pocket in a human body, a pacemaker of circular outline and shallow, dome-shape with a substantially flat bottom is provided. Catheter storage means is contained in the surface of the flat bottom and comprises a system of helical and radial grooves for releasably receiving any extra length of catheter. The dome-shaped pacer includes a prong socket within its confines and angled toward the bottom grooves and a thrust screw for dislodging the prong.
