A device for shaping an electrode cable, such as a medical electrode cable for use with a pacemaker, includes a substantially tubular element or sleeve, having a length which is relatively short in comparison to the length of the electrode cable. The internal diameter of the tubular element is only slightly larger than the exterior diameter of electrode cable, so that the tubular element can be slid on and off the electrode cable. When the tubular element is on the electrode cable, it surrounds a portion of the electrode cable. The tubular element is curved in a desired manner, and is sufficiently stiff so that the portion of the electrode cable surrounded by the tubular element conforms to the shape of the tubular element. The device is extremely simple and inexpensive and simplifies adaptation of the electrode for placement in a patient's heart.
