ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a plug or closure for sealing the electrical terminal block of a cardiac pacing device from contact with body fluids while allowing access to the terminal block when the closure is in place. The closure is made of an elastomeric material and includes an upper surface containing a first concave region and a lower surface including a second concave region. The concave surfaces are connected by a self-sealing transverse slit to insure a tight seal when the plug is seated under compression within the pacing device and also to permit access to a set screw contained in the electrical terminal block when the plug is in place. Such access permits adjustment of the set screw or electrical testing while the plug is seated.
