Pacing lead including an elasticized snap-on sleeve integral with a fixation pad for covering and protecting a tip of an electrode, and which is designed for either ventricular or atrial pacing. The electrode includes a U-shaped mid-portion, and extends into and across a hole in the fixation pad. The bottom of the U-shaped portion is recessed slightly below the hole to a position slightly below the lower surface of the elasticized fixation pad. The pacing lead is intended for permanent epicardial pacing, includes a one piece design, provides for easy insertion, is acutely removable, is intended for long-term fixation and acute fixation, and has a low profile suitable for either ventricular or atrial pacing.
