Low frequency implantable device

Image from Licence Details: Low frequency implantable device

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.
