ABSTRACT:
For simplifying the positioning of electrodes inside living bodies, a positioning device has a wire running through a tube, the tube being fastened to a case and being fastened to a handling element disposed in the case. With the handling element, the wire can be moved relative to the tube, which enables the positioning of an electrode in, for example, the heart, by extending a preshaped curve at the end of the wire and turning it to a suitable position. Alternatively, the tube may be fastened to the handling element and moved relative to the wire which may be fastened to the case, or relative to a second turnable handling element in the case. The preshaped curve of the wire is released by pulling the tube back from the wire.
