ABSTRACT:
A replacement cardiac pacemaker is connected to an already implanted electrode catheter from which the original connecting pin has been discarded, and the cut end of the severed spiral wound wire bared from its sheath, by an adaptor that comprises a sleeve accommodating a conductive spindle rotatable about its own axis and rigidly associated with a coaxial stilet projecting from an open socket end of the sleeve and insertable tightly into the bore of the bared wire; the sleeve also accommodates a second spiral wound wire interposed between the sleeve and the corresponding section of the stilet, attached by its ends respectively to the socket end and to the spindle, and a detachable key by means of which the spindle can be rotated in such a way as to subject the second wire to a torsional stress that results in the first wire being restrained against the stilet. The interlocked wires and stilet are encapsulated in an insulating outer sheath and made secure with surgical threads bound firmly around the sheath.
