Abstract
An auxiliary body, for guiding a stylet into the stylet channel of an electrode cable in a medical electrode device whose proximal end is provided with a connector pin, has a first end provided with a cylindrical channel so the auxiliary body can be pushed onto the connector pin, a second end of the auxiliary body being provided with a cavity whose orifice is larger than the channel's opening. The cavity is connected to the channel and continuously narrows in such a way that the diameter of the channel end of the cavity is larger than the external diameter of the stylet and equal to or less than the diameter of the stylet channel. For drying off and/or lubricating the stylet in a safe and simple manner without any additional, disruptive step in the implantation procedure, a carrier which contains one or both of drying or lubricating agent is disposed in the cavity and/or in the channel of the auxiliary body so as to cause the agent contained in the carrier to interact with the stylet as the stylet is inserted through the auxiliary body.
