Thin-film electrode fabrication techniques. 1983

R L White, and L A Roberts, and N E Cotter, and O H Kwon

After a long developmental effort, we can now fabricate, using thin-film techniques, both rigid modiolar multielectrodes and flexible scala tympani multielectrodes which we believe appropriate for long-term implantation in human subjects. In vitro and in vivo life tests are in progress to confirm this expectation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008839 Microelectrodes Electrodes with an extremely small tip, used in a voltage clamp or other apparatus to stimulate or record bioelectric potentials of single cells intracellularly or extracellularly. (Dorland, 28th ed) Electrodes, Miniaturized,Electrode, Miniaturized,Microelectrode,Miniaturized Electrode,Miniaturized Electrodes
D011474 Prosthesis Design The plan and delineation of prostheses in general or a specific prosthesis. Design, Prosthesis,Designs, Prosthesis,Prosthesis Designs
D003054 Cochlear Implants Electronic hearing devices typically used for patients with normal outer and middle ear function, but defective inner ear function. In the COCHLEA, the hair cells (HAIR CELLS, VESTIBULAR) may be absent or damaged but there are residual nerve fibers. The device electrically stimulates the COCHLEAR NERVE to create sound sensation.
