Abstract
The invention provides an extension cable system for connecting electrodes to a medical device such as an External Pacing Generator. The system further provides a connector separator for maintaining electrode receiving connectors in a fixed relationship relative to each other to avoid contact between electrically exposed regions of the electrodes. The extension cable system comprises electrically conductive leads electrically connected to a plug adapted to an electrical socket of a medical device, dielectrically shrouded electrode receiving connector(s) that form an electrical connection with a filamentous electrode or electrically conductive wire, and a connector separator for gripping and maintaining the electrode receiving connectors in a predetermined and rigid relationship relative to each other. The electrode receiving connectors comprise outer shrouds that can be threadably rotated to operate wire receiving chucks to receive electrode wires. The connector separator comprises a bridge having opposing ends adapted as bifurcated grips for gripping an electrode receiving connector.
