An electrical conductor intended to be used in pairs to transmit a controlled electrical shock from an external defibrillator directly to the exposed heart muscle of a post-pubescent patient in order to intentionally stop/start the heartbeat during cardiopulmonary surgery. It usually consists of a cable set with spoon-like electrodes (commonly known as internal defibrillator paddles or spoons) that are held by the operator directly to either side of the heart muscle so that the discharge passes directly through the heart. It is typically available as a set of two electrodes with insulated handles with a combined cable/connector. This is a reusable device.
