Neuromuscular stimulation electrode MyoStim®

Temporary myocardial electrodes, also known as “pacing wires” or “heart wires”, allow temporary pacing therapy during and post cardiac surgery. Depending on the variant, heart wires are attached epicardially to the atrium and / or ventricle with the help of a heart needle or ligature, guided to the outside via a puncture in the abdominal wall (thoracic needle) and connected to an external temporary pacemaker. The portfolio of heart wires is extensive. Specific types of fixation have proven effective for the atrium and the ventricle. A color code, blue or white, allows a distinction to be made between atrially and ventricularly attached heart wires. Depending on your preference, heart wires are available with different numbers of poles (unipolar, bipolar or quadripolar) and pole design (in series or with bifurcation) and in different lengths (60 cm, 220 cm). In addition, there are certain specifications for the different patient groups (adults, children and neonates).
