ABSTRACT:
A surgical electrode wherein the terminal portion of a lead wire which extends from the thorax of a patient is connectable with a cardiac pacing or monitoring instrument by a rod-shaped electrically conductive male connector in cooperation with an insulating sleeve-like female connector which is slidable longitudinally of the male connector. The latter has a transverse slot or hole remote from one end of the male connector, and the terminal portion of the wire extends from the one end of the male connector, through the slot or hole, and back to the one end of the male connector. The female connector normally surrounds two legs of the terminal portion as well as the hole or that part of the slot which is nearer to the one end of the male connector but leaves the male connector exposed between that part of the wire which extends through the hole or slot and the other end of the male connector so that the exposed portion of the male connector can be inserted into the socket of a pacing or monitoring instrument. The female connector is movably connected with a tubular cover which can be caused to confine the exposed portion of the male connector when the latter is not attached to an instrument.
