Internal defibrillation electrodes for adults are reusable medical devices designed to deliver controlled electrical shocks directly to the heart during cardiopulmonary surgery. They consist of paired electrodes (often spoon-shaped) connected by insulated cables, allowing operators to apply shocks precisely to the exposed heart muscle to restore or regulate heartbeat rhythm.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments or electrical medical devices, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are sold as part of a set—usually two electrodes with a shared cable—and are intended for use in controlled surgical environments where direct access to the heart is required.
