CorTec presents new White Paper on Nerve Cuff Electrodes

We are proudly presenting to you our new White Paper on nerve cuff electrodes. It represents a basic guideline for working with cuff electrodes in the peripheral nervous system.

Whitepaper_Title_ThumbnailThe White Paper gives you an overview about

  • the important factors for selecting the right electrodes,
  • the preparation of the electrode before implantation,
  • the basic conditions of a successful implantation as well as about
  • the use of cuff electrodes in your experiment.

CorTec is producing a variety of cuff electrodes made of minimal traumatic flexible silicone with various closure mechanisms.

AirRay research Micro Cuff Tunnel and AirRay research Micro Cuff Sling form our standard product portfolio available for applications in pre-clinical research.

The Standard configurations start at 100µm of inner diameter with 2mm of electrode length going up to inner diameters of several millimeters. Individual contact configurations and other customized specifications are also available.
