CALL FOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER – EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI)

Intracranial electrodes for use in acute and chronic Electrocorticography for periods up to 15 days

Medical Device Classification : Class D

Technology Readiness Level : TRL4

Intended end use : Epilepsy is the third most commonly diagnosed neurological disorder. Epileptic seizures are the result of excessive and abnormal nerve cell activity in certain regions of the brain. The surgical removal of the epileptogenic area of the brain is the most effective treatment available for epilepsy. Intracranial electrodes help localize the epileptogenic zone accurately and precisely by electrophysiological monitoring.

Product description : The device employs platinum/stainless steel electrodes with MP 35/Stainless steel connection wires embedded between two flaps of silicone rubber. The connections terminate at the distal end, which is compatible with Video EEG systems.
