  • NEURAL ELECTRODES AND METHODS FOR IMPLANTING SAME
    Publication number: 20170182312
    Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure can include a method for implanting a neural electrode in a fascicle including a target nerve. One step of the method can include inserting a microwire assembly into the fascicle. The microwire assembly can comprise a microwire body that is coiled around a needle introducer. Next, a portion of the microwire body can be uncoiled from around the needle introducer so that a distal end of the microwire body retains a spiral-shaped configuration. The needle introducer can then be withdrawn so that the spiral-shaped distal end of the microwire body remains implanted in the fascicle.
