  • NEURORRHAPHY SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20250345061
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for connecting two nerve stumps are provided. A system includes at least one neurorrhaphy device constructed and arranged to engage at least a portion of a proximal nerve stump and a distal nerve stump. The neurorrhaphy device is deployed at one, two, or more deposit sites within a patient, and provides a therapeutic benefit at the deposit site. The neurorrhaphy device allows for the alignment and/or reapproximation the proximal and distal nerve stumps without the application of sutures or other tissue penetrating components within, or in immediate proximity to, the nerve stumps.

  • Compliant devices for neural prosthetic devices
    Patent number: 10857348
    Abstract: A device for neural prosthetics is disclosed. The device comprises arrays of micro-wires and a control unit. The control unit connects to and communicates with the micro-wires. The ends of the micro-wires serve as microelectrodes. The microelectrodes are in contact with neural tissue. The micro-wires are covered in sheaths made of conformal material. The ends of the micro-wires protrude beyond the ends of the sheaths. This allows the electrodes to be individually positioned on the neural tissue.
    Type: Grant
