Patent ID: 7542807

Claim:
A bipolar conduction block verification probe comprising: an elongate probe shaft having a proximal end and a distal end; a first pacing electrode and a second pacing electrode exposed on a distal-facing surface at the distal end of the elongate probe shaft; and a first wire connected to the first pacing electrode and extending through the elongate probe shaft to a first electrical connector configured for connection to an external bipolar pacing pulse generator and a second wire connected to the second pacing electrode and extending through the elongate probe shaft to a second electrical connector configured for connection to the external bipolar pacing pulse generator, wherein the elongate probe shaft includes a malleable member capable of being bent to a desired configuration and maintaining the desired configuration, wherein the elongate probe shaft is configured with a polymer tube having a first lumen and a second lumen, and wherein the malleable member is an elongated member that extends through the first lumen and the first wire and the second wire extend through the second lumen.
