Abstract
An ECG lead set assembly including a lead set hub and a retractable reel assembly retained within the lead set hub. The retractable reel assembly includes a reel member adapted for rotation within the lead set hub and an electrode lead wrapped about the reel member and having an electrical conductor for connecting to an electrode for receiving biopotential signals from a patient. The electrode lead is extendable from the reel member upon rotation within the lead set hub.
