Abstract:
A pacing lead for a cardiac stimulator, said pacing lead comprising:a) an elongated flexible insulating lead body having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending therebetween;b) an electrode attached to the lead body at its distal end;c) coupling means attached to the proximal end for coupling said electrode to said cardiac stimulator;d) an elongated, helically wound conductor having a proximal end and distal end, and a flexible conductor cable disposed in the lumen for connecting the electrode to the coupling means, the helically wound conductor defining a removable stylet receiving lumen, the distal end of the helically wound conductor being joined to the flexible conductor cable; ande) a guide wire lumen positioned approximate said distal end of said lead body and adapted to receive a guide wire therethrough.
