ABSTRACT:
A battery-powered pacemaker includes an electrical pulse generating device enclosed in a portable case. The pulse generating device is connected to a disposable electrode insertion unit that can easily be inserted in a patient's heart. A relatively short conductive lead connects the pulse generating device and the electrode insertion unit. The case of this pacemaker can be placed on the patient or near the side of the patient but out of the way, thus eliminating the use of the long conductive leads which has been a problem in the past. The present pacemaker also used a male connector on the case to receive a female connector attached to the conductive lead. The male/female connector is used so that blood and other contaminants can be easily cleaned from the male fitting before the unit is reused. Barbless hooks attached to one side of the electrrode insertion unit are used for electrically connecting the pulse generating means device to the heart.
