Zimmer Biomet has expanded its thoracic portfolio to include a broad range of cardiovascular products. We now offer sternal sutures, sternal cable, temporary pacing wires and rotating surgical punches.
Designed for Intraoperative Flexibility
Small needles and wire diameter
Atraumatic flare fixation
Single thoracic puncture to place two electrodes
BM-Series
Enables Bi-Polar placement of both electrodes in the myocardium with only one needle puncture. Available with Flare or Z fixation
VE-Series
Features a pre-bent L shape (hook) designed to eliminate the need to cut and discard needles. Bonded at the tip to eliminate fraying of the multi-stranded wire
VO-Series
Combines an O design with Bullet Electrode. The O-shape, also known as “Loop” or “Lasso” increases the surface area and contact of the electrode, intended to give the user security of placement
VF-Series
The bifurcated design of our VF-series pacing wires combines the ease of single wire placement with advantages of bipolar wires
Designed for Stable Fixation and Atraumatic Removal
Insulated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and incorporating a 64mm and 89mm Keith needle which has a ‘snap off’ feature enabling the needle to be easily broken off without the need of wire cutters.
M-24 Style, bare wire electrode.
Two and one-half inches of bare temporary pacing wire exposed immediately adjacent to the curved needle. Four curved needles, two straight needles and three insulation colour options are available
M-25 style, one centimetre electrode with insulation wings.
Insulation is cut back to form a winged electrode. One centimetre of bare wire provides 13mm of exposed electrode surface area. The wings fold back against the insulation during removal. Three curved needles, two straight needles and three insulation colour options are available
M-26 style, one centimetre electrode.
One centimetre of bare temporary pacing wire provides 13mm of exposed electrode surface area. Insulation is tapered to the electrode to facilitate insertion and removal. Four curved needles, two straight needles and three insulation colour options are available
Indifferent lead temporary cardiac pacing electrode.
A special curved cutting needle permits this subcutaneous electrode placement. This electrode can eliminate the need for a ground electrode on the heart
The 8-inch ground, skin or indifferent electrode can be installed in subcutaneous tissue

The product is available in 8-inch and 24-inch lengths
Designed to Cut Clean and Round Holes
Designed with two scalpel-sharp cutting surfaces and a smooth cutting action, intended to reduce tissue trauma while creating a uniform incision and providing an ideal opening in soft tissue. The syringe style grip is designed to provide comfort and control while offering excellent visibility of the operating field.
Hollow cutting tip with 10-degree undercut moves tissue away from inside edge of hole
Dual-cutting action
Full 90-degree rotation is designed to create a clean, circular hole
Syringe-style grip for comfort during use
Low profile cutting tip is designed for easier entry
Designed to Provide Secure Connection
Locking mechanism features:
Locking safety slide bar helps to prevent unintentional electrode release
Allows for emergent reinsertion of electrodes even in locked position
Lightweight design, easy verification of connection ports
Colour coded on both base and plug
The cable is offered in two lengths: 6ft and 10ft
