APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FLUIDIC MICROACTUATION OF ELECTRODES

Title:

APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FLUIDIC MICROACTUATION OF ELECTRODES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/112750

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

The disclosure describes new apparatus, systems and methods utilizing microfluidic- actuation technology that allows insertion and positioning of flexible electrodes, without the need for stiffening support. Embodiments of the present disclosure can significantly reduce the trauma to the soft brain tissue during implantation and improve biocompatibility, longevity and therapeutic efficacy of neural electrode.
