CorTec’s electrodes act as direct interfaces to the brain or to peripheral nerves. In order to protect the sensitive neural tissue as much as possible, the material of the electrodes must not be too thick or stiff. At the same time, however, it must also be ensured that the products withstand the stress in the […]

Some time ago we published a Whitepaper for the use of our °AirRay Cuff Electrodes. Not only gives it useful insights about choosing the right Cuff for your specific application but also provides a lot of intel about the tricks in using them. From preparation to explantation – here you will find anything you need

Our °AirRay Electrode Technology allows us to manufacture electrodes that are tailored to your specific needs. The degree of flexibility of the electrodes plays an important role for many applications. Our proprietary laser-aided manufacturing process enables us to vary the flexibility of our electrodes from very soft to harder versions. Our new video gives you an impression

One of the major sources for complications in chronic neuromodulation are the wires connecting the different parts of the systems, or even penetrating the skin. They account for frequent device failures due to wire breaks and, especially when penetrating the skin, are a permanent risk of tissue irritations or infections. To overcome these problems, a

With a thickness down to 0.08 mm our °AirRay Electrode Technology offers refined products for your application. Depending on the design you choose for your specific application the electrode can be very delicate in its structure which you should consider when handling. The first step to a successful use is unboxing your electrodes. In a

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease for which no causal cure exists to date. The only treatment method available consists of closely monitoring blood sugar levels and injecting insulin several times a day. This treatment, however, does not eliminate the cause of the disease, has to be kept up for the patient’s whole life,

Our pictures of the year don’t come from just anyone. Each one is the work of one of our employees who have documented a variety of events in our daily work throughout the year. After moving to our new building, we have launched the CorTec Photo Challenge: All employees are called upon to photograph in

°AirRay Cuff electrodes make contact with peripheral nerves. These can also be very finely structured, so that the electrodes interfacing them may only have a diameter of 100 µm. The implantation of the cuff represents a big challenge in these small dimensions. In a short video we have compiled a few tips around the implantation
