Abstract
The bipolar epicardial temporary pacing lead (10 or 110) comprises a lead body (22 or 122) containing first and second spaced apart wire conductors (24 or 124 and 26 or 126) each encased in insulating material (30 or 130) so as to form first and second insulated wire conductor portions (32 or 124 and 33 or 136). A straight needle (16 or 116) is connected to the proximal end portion (12 or 112) of the lead body (22 or 122). A curved needle (62 or 162) is connected to at least one of the wire conductors (24 or 124) at the distal end portion (14 or 114) of the lead (10 or 110). The distal end portion (14 or 114) of the lead (10 or 110) has insulation removed from portions of the respective first and second conductors (24 or 124 and 26 or 126) thereby to form in the distal end portion (14 or 114) a first or proximal electrode forming wire conductor portion (54 or 154) and a second or distal electrode forming or wire conductor portion (56 or 156). Terminal connector sleeves (34 and 36) are fixed on and around each insulated wire conductor portion (32 or 134 and 33 or 136) in the proximal end portion (12 or 112) of the lead (10 or 110) and in electrical contact with the wire conductor (24 or 124 and 26 or 126) therein.
