Abstract
An implantable defibrillation electrode of a shape requiring minimal incision in the body is disclosed. The electrode has a flexible insulated guide and terminates in a preconfigured flexible distal portion with an exposed conductive element. The electrode may be straightened, as for example by insertion of a stylet into the body of the electrode, for ease of insertion into the body.
