The components of an adaptor device for use with cardiac pacemaker electrode catheters include a conductive element, typically a stilet, serving to ensure a sound connection between the already implanted spiral wound wire and a new pacemaker: in the improved adaptor, the conductive element is flexible, appearing as a further spiral wound wire secured by one end to a spindle and extending from the tip of the spindle along the entire length of the implanted wire in such a way as to terminate near the stimulation electrode, which is anchored in a ventricular wall of the cardiac muscle.
