ABSTRACT:
A lead insertion tool of a molded polymer including a main body and two movable fingers extending at an angle from one end of the main body for holding a cardiac sensing lead or cardiac pacing lead. The inner ends of the fingers are configured to grasp a pacing lead electrode body. A tubular member with finger tabs extends down and over the main body and down and over the extending fingers so that the ends of the fingers movingly engage about the pacing lead body when the tubular member is slid down the body of the lead insertion tool. The inner ends of the extending fingers can be geometrically configured to accept any particular pacing lead body member supporting the electrodes of the pacing lead.
