Systems, devices and methods using a skull/brain interface

NeuroPace Inc6/28/2016ยท06/28/16๐ŸŒ USA

Summary

NeuroPace patent covering the burr hole-based skull/brain interface that mounts the RNS Neurostimulator flush with the skull surface. Covers the ferrule, lead-anchoring mechanism, and electrical connector system enabling the neurostimulator to interface with intracranial electrode leads while maintaining a low-profile cosmetically acceptable cranial implant configuration.

Why it matters

The skull/brain interface of US9375564 makes the RNS System practical for long-term implantation โ€” a flush-skull neurostimulator enables far simpler electrode lead routing directly to cortical seizure foci vs. the chest-pocket placement used by VNS and most DBS systems.
