  • Publication number: 20240075281
    Abstract: An implantable electrode arrangement provides spatially-selective detection of neuronal electrical signals, which propagate along at least one nerve fiber contained in a nerve fascicle, and for selective electrical stimulation of the at least one nerve fiber, comprising a biocompatible carrier substrate, which has at least one carrier substrate region that can be placed around the nerve fascicle in a cuff and has a straight cylinder-shaped carrier substrate surface which faces the nerve fascicle in the implanted state. The carrier substrate surface has an axial extension and an extension oriented circumferentially in a direction and a first electrode arrangement attached thereto.

  • Patent number: 10569085
    Abstract: The invention is an implantable electrode configuration having a carrier substrate of a biocompatible polymer in at least some areas and a freely accessible electrode surface applied to the carrier substrate or integrated into the carrier substrate on the carrier substrate surface in at least some areas is described and a method for producing the implantable electrode configuration. The electrode has a metallic base plate having a planar top side and bottom side, including at least one structural element protruding orthogonally from the top side. The planar surface of the metallic base plate is oriented parallel to the carrier substrate surface and the metallic base plate is enclosed by the biocompatible polymer, except for a first surface area of the at least one structural element which faces the carrier substrate surface and is the freely accessible electrode surface.
