Core clinical engineering and protocols for Intraneural Electrode Longevity.
Unlike the brain which is protected inside the skull, peripheral nerves in arms and legs stretch, bend, and slide against muscle tissue during everyday movement. Rigid silicon electrodes break or cause severe mechanical trauma to nerve fascicles.
NeuroLiaison designs Transversal Intrafascicular Micro-Electrode (TIME) arrays using flexible polyimide ribbons that move harmoniously with peripheral nerve fascicles. Porous platinum-iridium or conductive polymer coatings maintain low impedance and stable signal-to-noise ratios over years of implantation.
