A neural implant designed to alleviate chronic pain through targeted modulation of pain signals within the central nervous system.
Chronic pain management, particularly in cases where traditional pharmacological treatments have been ineffective or have significant side effects.
The device consists of microelectrode arrays that are implanted into specific brain regions associated with pain processing. These electrodes deliver electrical stimulation or other forms of neuromodulation, which can inhibit pain signals before they reach the brain.
The process involves microfabrication techniques to create precise electrode arrays, followed by biocompatibility testing and encapsulation with materials that ensure long-term stability within the body.
Design of electrodes, assembly into an implantable package, biocompatibility testing, and final sterilization procedures.
Field units draw low hundreds of watts; fabrication is energy-intensive due to vacuum baking processes.
