Low frequency implantable device
High capacitance electrode materials for ultra low frequency stimulation.
Applications: Stimulation of tissue for regeneration
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Low operating frequencies – the generator can reverse polarity with a period of at least 300 seconds | A longer pulse period has been shown to allow for better tissue regrowth, suitable for injuries or chronic wounds |
| Novel material stable at low frequencies | Avoids the risk of toxicity present with other materials |
| The device is flexible as the substrate exhibits elastic deformation | Can conform to specific injury sites, such as being wrapped around the spinal cord |
| High capacitance electrodes reduces total number of electrodes required, minimising size of device | Allows device to be implanted and removed through a small incision |
| The substrate is a conductive polymer layer | There is no need for a separate conductive layer, simplifying manufacture |
