Synopsis

In order to overcome barriers to adoption of neurostimulation technologies by patients and clinicians, we present here a minimally invasive needle placeable and fully implanted neurostimulator that is suitable for clinical imaging (U/S, X-Ray, MRI). The structural design and placement procedure of the injectable helical wire structure electrode (Injectrode) renders the device self anchoring and deliverable using a minimal number of components. Demonstrated are placements by clinicians on various nerve targets in animal and human models.
