A connector device, for a temporary cardiac pacing wire, includes a
conductive adaptor and a cover section which completely electrically
insulates the adaptor and environmentally isolates it. The conductive
adaptor comprises a contact receiving end having an aperture therein and
a plug portion for plugging into a suitable medical instrument. The cover
includes two clam shell sections attached by a hinge and a plug cover
connected to one of the clam shell sections. In a first mode, the
electrical cover completely surrounds the conductive adaptor and is
locked in place so that it is secure and the plug cover is in position
over the plug to completely insulate and isolate the conductive adaptor
from the outside. According to a second mode, the cap is selectively
removed from the plug but the two cover sections remain in place so as to
expose the plug for use for connecting to medical instruments. The
invention completely electrically insulates and environmentally isolates
the conductive adaptor from the exterior when used in either of the two
modes described.
