MYO/Wire™ Temporary Atrial Cardiac Pacing Wires

Temporary Pacing Wire Product Options

• M-20 Style, Straight Wire Electrode
  One inch (2.54cm) of bare temporary pacing wire can be bent into desired configuration by surgeon and secured to the myocardium with a suture.
• M-21 Style, Loop Electrode
  One-eighth inch diameter bare temporary cardiac pacing wire loop can be secured onto the myocardium with a non-tied continuous suture through the myocardium and wire loop. The suture will unravel during removal. The temporary pacing wire loop can be cut to permit removal if a suture is used to secure the loop to the myocardium.
• M-22, Robicsek Tapered Loop Electrode
  Robicsek atrial pacing electrode designed with six millimeter diameter bare tapered wire loop. Securing suture is placed snug but not tight around neck of electrode. Loop will compress through suture upon removal.

M-22 Product Benefits

• Stable Fixation
  The loop electrode, when utilized as described below, provides sufficient fixation to the atrial wall to prevent dislodgement by the inadvertent application of moderate force.
• Atraumatic Removal
  The loop electrode compresses through the suture during percutaneous removal reducing the possibility of tearing the thin atrial wall.
• Snap Off Keith Needle
  Sharp Keith needle is easily broken off at groove in shaft thereby eliminating the need to cut the needle with wire cutters.

M-22 Suggested Placement Method (see image --->)

1. Electrode is sutured to the right atrial surface using 6-0 polypropylene suture. Suture is placed around neck of electrode between loop and wire insulation.
2. Suture should be snug but not tight around neck of the electrode. DO NOT place suture through electrode loop.
3. During percutaneous removal, the cardiac pacing wire electrode loop will compress through the suture.
