[nanoPost] Stimulation electrodes using nanotechnology

Company Israel

The company have developed a unique process in producing high quality microelectrodes for neurological applications. They have introduced a new generation of high current density micro stimulation electrodes for chronic applications based on patented Nano techniques.

For long-term stimulation of chronic implanted microelectrodes, and especially at high current density, irreversible faradic chemical reaction of the conductor of the microelectrode occurs and can’t be avoided, even for noble metals such as platinum and Iridium. This leads to damage for the electrodes tip as well as the tissue by toxic products.

Product-stimulation electrode

- Novel tip of unique NANO structure.
- Highest charge density transfer without any corrosion (> 800 mc/cm2)
- Biocompatible.
- Inert in physiological solution (negligible adsorption)
- Best electrical and mechanical properties
- The lowest noise to signal ratio
- Highest capacitance for best performance in stimulation
- Highest rate of charge transfer for low power application
- Best choice for long term chronic stimulation and recording
- Lowest polarization for best quality of recording
- High selectivity of recording and stimulation
- Stiff, durable, ability to penetrate the Dura without any damage
- Modified Parylene of high adhesion of insulation
- Best choice of unbroken microelectrodes

The novel micro array of microelectrodes will open a new window for understanding the mechanism of neural network activity, functions, and pathways of control and can be a useful tool for treatment of neural disorders, such as tremor, epilepsy, schizophrenia, anorexia, depression, chronic pain, dystonia, movement disorders and Parkinson’s disease.

Moreover, unlike the commercially available microelectrode of deep brain stimulation, the array provides fine stimulation with high resolution without side effects and uncontrolled electrical fields distributions (Patent Protected).
