Abstract
A cardiac pacer lead which includes an insulated electrical conductor having one end adapted to be electrically connected to a pulse generator and the other end electrically connected to an electrode, and a plurality of tines spaced around the circumference of the insulated electrical conductor and projecting in a direction away from the electrode. A curved, flattened spring is embedded within the insulated electrical conductor in a region on the lead near the electrode to thereby provide a lead of a generally J-shaped configuration. The spring serves to maintain the curved configuration of the lead when the lead is implanted in the heart.
