Abstract
The contact device disclosed herein is designed for applying stimulating pulses to cardiac muscle tissue to obtain artificial pacing of the heart. Fibrosis around the stimulating electrode itself is minimized by employing a non-binding, preferably quite flexible electrode to establish the contact and using relatively stiff, prong-like attaching members which are separate and substantially spaced from the stimulating electrode itself.
