摘要: The present disclosure relates to a monolithic thin-film lead assembly and methods of microfabricating a monolithic thin-film lead assembly. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a monolithic thin-film lead assembly that includes a cable having a proximal end, a distal end, a supporting structure that extends from the proximal end to the distal end, and conductive traces formed on a portion of the supporting structure. The supporting structure includes one or more layers of dielectric material. The monolithic thin-film lead assembly further includes an interface formed on the supporting structure at the distal end of the cable. The interface includes electrodes and/or sensors in electrical connection with the conductive traces, and the supporting structure has at least one curved portion disposed between a first set of electrodes and a second set of electrodes, and/or between a first set of sensors and a second set of sensors.

摘要: An example implantable connector for connecting an electronics package and a neural interface is made by way of a compressible contacts (e.g., a spring) that physical contacts a corresponding exposed bond pad. The compressible contact is held in compression with the exposed bond pad using a mechanical coupler. The compressible contact is physically separated and electrically isolated from other contacts by way of a compressible gasket. The compressible gasket is also held in compression using the mechanical coupler.

摘要: An electrode cuff for placement around a peripheral nerve can include one or more protrusions extending from a tissue-contacting surface of the electrode cuff. A protrusion can include one or more electrodes and can have a blunt distal end. The protrusion(s) can be driven into the nerve using a driving tool designed to apply mechanical oscillations and/or swift mechanical force to the electrode cuff. The mechanical oscillations and/or swift mechanical force can insert the blunt distal ends of the protrusions into the nerve without damaging fascicles within the nerve. During implantation, a sensor associated with the driving tool and/or the electrode cuff can provide dynamic feedback to a controller for controlling the driving tool. The sensor may detect pressure, temperature, acoustic activity, and/or electrical activity to indicate when the protrusions have pierced the epineurium, allowing the controller to cease the driving tool and thus avoid damage to the fascicles.

摘要: A device includes a neural interface and a lead body. The lead body includes a bulk conductor and the neural interface includes a flexible circuit. The flexible circuit includes a microfabricated substrate and an exposed electrode. An interconnect region disposed between the electrode and the bulk conductor provides electrical connection between the electrode and the bulk conductor such that electrical signals can be communicated relative to the electrode via the bulk conductor. The interconnect region can be respectively connected to the electrode and bulk conductor by wire-bonding, welding, or other suitable connection methods.
