ABSTRACT:
A pulse generator for a cardiac pacemaker is adapted to be implanted beneath the skin and adjacent the musculus with either of its two sides facing the musculus and its other side facing outwardly of the patient's body, at the option of the implanting surgeon, according to the desired orientation of the receptacle of the header for connection of an electrode lead to the pulse generator, and at the same time avoiding the presence of spurious signals attributable to flexation of the adjacent musculus and twitching attributable to stimulation of the adjacent musculus during operation of the pulse generator when implanted. To that end, the entire surface of the case is coated with an electrically insulative, biocompatible film except along a portion of the edge of the case between its two major sides which is to serve as an anodal contact surface for stimulating and sensing cardiac activity of the patient.
