Abstract
A device for manipulating a stylet unit for positioning an electrode cable in a body cavity has an elongate housing, an elongate, axial cavity in the housing and an operating slide, axially movable in relation to the housing, for attachment to a proximal end section of a tubular stylet sleeve in a stylet unit. An elongate coil spring is located in the cavity on the proximal side of the manipulation device. The coil spring forms an inner guide channel to prevent the buckling of the free, proximal end section of the stylet of the stylet unit in the cavity.
