The ICD/VAD defibrillator electromagnet is used with patients who possess either an ICD or a VAD. The electromagnet has a slim, low-profile design and an adhesive pad that allows for proper positioning to patients chest, a decrease risk for pressure related wounds, and also permits the positioning of the patient in any of multiple planes while in surgery/X-ray without worry about displacement or shifting of the electromagnet. The electromagnet provides protection and safety for patients undergoing surgery involving electrocaurtery as well as, helping patients in X-ray/CT/MRI procedures that produce high magnetic fields that interfere with ICD/VAD proper function.
