A self-anchoring injectable helical wire rope structure electrode (Injectrode) enables ease of placement and clear imaging

Overview
Comments

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.
