Patent number: 10946187Abstract: A three-dimensional neural probe electrode array system is described. Planar probes are microfabricated and electrically connected to flexible micro-machined ribbon cables using a rivet bonding technique. The distal end of each cable is connected to a probe with the proximal end of the cable being customized for connection to a printed circuit board. Final assembly consists of combining multiple such assemblies into a single structure. Each of the two-dimensional neural probe arrays is positioned into a micro-machined platform that provides mechanical support and alignment for each array. Lastly, a micro-machined cap is placed on top of each neural electrode probe and cable assembly to protect them from damage during shipping and subsequent use. The cap provides a relatively planar surface for attachment of a computer controlled inserter for precise insertion into the tissue.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: NEURONEXUS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Rio J. Vetter, Jamille Farraye Hetke, David S. Pellinen, Bencharong Suwarato, K C Kong

Patent number: 10842991Abstract: A neural probe comprising an array of stimulation and/or recording electrodes supported on a tape spring-type carrier is described. The neural probe comprising the tape spring-type carrier is used to insert flexible electrode arrays straight into tissue, or to insert them off-axis from the initial penetration of a guide tube. Importantly, the neural probe is not rigid, but has a degree of stiffness provided by the tape spring-type carrier that maintains a desired trajectory into body tissue, but will subsequently allow the probe to flex and move in unison with movement of the body tissue.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: NEURONEXUS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: David S. Pellinen, Bencharong Suwarato, Rio J. Vetter, Jamille Farraye Hetke, Daryl R. Kipke

Publication number: 20190054293Abstract: A neural probe system having a single guide tube that is inserted into neural tissue and from which a number of neural probes can be deployed is described. Each probe is deployable into tissue along a desired trajectory. This is done by supporting the electrode array on a spring tape-type carrier that maintains axial stiffness once the neural probe has deployed out a channel in the guide tube. That way, a target neural tissue is bounded by an increased number of neural probes while minimizing trauma to surrounding body tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2018Publication date: February 21, 2019Inventors: David S. Pellinen, Bencharong Suwarato, Rio J. Vetter, Jamille Farraye Hetke, Daryl R. Kipke
