1 Biologic glue-molded “bio-mini-paddle” electrode used for atrial and ventricular pacing and defibrillation  Hiroshi Kubota, MD, Shinichi Takamoto, MD, Arata Murakami, MD, Yutaka Kotsuka, MD, Akira Furuse, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 73, Issue 1, Pages (January 2002) DOI: /S (01)

2 Fig 1 Platinum lead made by winding 25 strands of platinum wire having a diameter of 0.05 mm. The lead is covered with a silicone tube 2 mm in diameter and 50 cm long. The platinum wire is exposed for the final 1-cm tip portion of the lead, and unwound into a broom shape. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

3 Fig 2 Translucent acrylic mold to make the bio-mini-paddle has a cylindrical groove in the center. The diameter of the groove is 20 mm, the depth is 10 mm. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

4 Fig 3 The bio-mini-paddle is translucent and does not adhere to the myocardium. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

5 Fig 4 Bio-mini-paddle 1 week after implantation. The electrode has decreased in size from the initial 20 mm to 18 mm in diameter, and from 6 mm to 3.5 mm in thickness. The reduction in volume was 47%. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )
