    摘要: An intraneural implant comprises a lead comprising a number of electrode wires, a number of electrodes communicatively coupled to the electrode wires, the electrodes forming an electrode array, and an overmold surrounding the electrode wires and at least a portion of the electrodes, and a blunt dissector tip coupled to the lead to penetrate nerve tissues as the electrode array is implanted. An intraneural implant system comprises a flexible lead. The flexible lead comprises a lead body, an electrode array communicatively coupled to the lead body, a blunt dissector tip to penetrate a nerve bundle as the electrode array is implanted into the nerve bundle, and an implantation tool coupled to the electrode array to implant the electrode array into the nerve bundle.

    摘要: An exemplary system for loading a pre-curved electrode array onto a straightening member includes a loading tool and a straightening member. An exemplary loading tool may include a body and first and second flexible arms each having a fixed end connected to the body and a free end opposite the fixed end. The first and second flexible arms may define a straightening channel configured to constrain a pre-curved electrode array in a straightened configuration. The first and second flexible arms may be further configured to flex away from each other to receive the pre-curved electrode array into the straightening channel. The straightening member is configured to be inserted into the pre-curved electrode array while the pre-curved electrode array is in the straightened configuration and retain the pre-curved electrode array in the straightened configuration after the pre-curved electrode array is removed from the loading tool. Corresponding methods are also described.
