DEEP, acronym for drug-releasing electrode with enhanced properties:

The project is coordinated by Neurotech, aims at the development of an implantable device with its electrode with quantitative drug eluting capacity; in collaboration with UCL (GREN, MOEX, POLY), ULG and IT4IP .

Topic; this project is about the development of an implantable electrode with quantitive drug eluting capacity. Polypyrrole coating of platinum nanostructures forms the basis of this innovative technology.

 

IMANE, acronym for Implantable Multi-contact Active Nerve Electrode, is a European Commission research project. The partners of this project are: Université Catholique de Louvain (GREN, PCPM, ISTO), Ghent University, University College London (BME, EEL), Bath University, CERLA, Applied Microengineering (A.M.L.), MATRA Electronique and Neurotech.

Topic: The aim of the project is the development of a new type of Active Neural Electrode System and a neurostimulator system that should combine:

-          Stimulation and recording functions;

-          Integrated components placed directly on the electrode; 

-          Miniaturization (low voltage requirement, blocking capacitor suppression,...);

-          New silicone metallization process;

-          Safe stimulation protocol (physiological studies);

-          Complete transcutaneous control (external charging, RFID, ...);

-          Compatibility with industrialization.
