Rapid and Low Cost Manufacturing of Cuff Electrodes.

ABSTRACT: For many peripheral neuro-modulation applications, the cuff electrode has become a preferred technology for delivering electrical current into targeted volumes of tissue. While basic cuffs with low spatial selectivity, having longitudinally arranged contacts, can be produced from relatively straightforward processes, the fabrication of more complex electrode configurations typically requires iterative design and clean-room fabrication with skilled technicians. Although facile methods for fabricating cuff electrodes exist, their inconsistent products have limited their adoption for rapid manufacturing. In this article, we report a fast, low-cost fabrication process for patterning of electrode contacts in an implantable peripheral nerve cuff. Using a laser cutter as we have prescribed, the d
