  • Pacing system with connector for connecting electrode to pacer
    Patent number: 4027678
    Abstract: A connector device for use in connecting to a electrode pacing electrode, paticularly for connecting a pacer to an electrode where such pacer and electrode are from different manufacturers and are normally not adapted for connection one to another. The connector has a coil which is dimensioned to tightly receive a pronged end of the electrode, the receiving end being further formed in a mating way to receive the electrode so as to prevent current leakage at the situs of connection. The connector is adapted to permit connection or disconnection only as the connector is rotated in one given direction relative to the electrode. In one of the embodiments, the connector is housed in the pacer.
