ABSTRACT:
An epicardial defibrillation electrode device having small conductive dirks extending therefrom to lodge into the myocardium to lower the electrode impedence. The electrode device utilizes a flexible, translucent support member to aid in the positioning of the dirks during electrode implantation. Switchable dirks extending from separate conductive members mounted to the support member are provided for pacing, sensing and defibrillation.
