Internal defibrillation electrode, paediatric

Internal defibrillation electrodes for paediatric use are reusable medical devices designed to deliver controlled electrical shocks directly to the heart during cardiopulmonary procedures. They consist of paired, insulated electrodes connected to a cable, allowing surgeons to apply precise defibrillation during open-heart surgeries in pre-pubescent patients.

These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards for reusable medical equipment. They are supplied as paired sets and must meet electrical safety and biocompatibility requirements to ensure safe use in critical cardiac procedures.
