ABSTRACT:
A surgical tool for use in implanting a heart pacer. The tool includes a handle from whose one end an Allen wrench extends and in whose other end an O-ring plug having a stem is removably held by the stem. The wrench serves to screw an Allen-head set screw into the pacer to secure the terminal of the catheter which connects the pacer to the heart electrically. The plug seals the hole in which the set screw is inserted preventing electrical leakage by reason of penetration of body fluids to the terminal. The stem is removed from the plug and may serve to seal the suture hole in the pacer when the pacer is not sutured in place.
