Abstract
Disclosed herein are a minimally invasive electrode and delivery device, along with various related components, devices, methods, and technologies. The delivery device comprises a proximal elongate shaft, a paddle coupled to a distal end of the proximal shaft, and an irrigation/suction sleeve disposable over the paddle. Disclosed also is a fan-like cortical electrode device comprising at least two electrode segments, wherein each of the at least two electrode segments comprises a thin film pad, a plurality of electrode contacts disposed on the thin film pad, and a proximal connector attached to a proximal end of the thin film pad.
Claims17
A fan-like cortical electrode device comprising at least two separate electrode segments, wherein each of the at least two electrode segments comprises:
- (a) a thin film pad, the thin film pad being a substantially triangular shaped thin film pad having a first width at a distal end of the thin film pad that is greater than a second width at the proximal end of the thin film pad;
- (b) a plurality of electrode contacts disposed on the thin film pad;
- and
- (c) a proximal connector attached to a proximal end of the thin film pad,
- wherein the at least two separate electrode segments are configured to be delivered separately such that a first outer edge of the thin film pad of each of the at least two electrodes segments is disposed adjacent to a second outer edge of the thin film pad of at least one other of the at least two electrode segments to form a fanned arrangement, and the proximal connectors of all of the at least two electrode segments are configured to be stacked together in a stacked configuration following delivery of each of the separate electrode segments such that the proximal connector of each of the at least two electrode segments is configured to be disposed through a single opening in a skull of a patient.
A fan-like cortical electrode system comprising at least two separate electrode segments, wherein each of the at least two electrode segments comprises:
- (a) a thin film pad having a substantially triangular shape, the thin film pad having a first width at a distal end of the thin film pad that is greater than a second width at a proximal end of the thin film pad;
- (b) a plurality of electrode contacts disposed on the thin film pad;
- and
- (c) a proximal connector attached to the proximal end of the thin film pad,
- wherein each of the at least two electrode segments is deployable separately from each other of the at least two electrode segments and positionable in relation to each other such that the thin film pad of each of the at least two electrodes segments is disposed adjacent to each other in a fanned arrangement to provide maximal coverage of a patient's brain.
A fan-like cortical electrode system comprising at least two separate electrode segments, wherein each of the at least two electrode segments comprises:
- (a) a substantially triangle-shaped thin film pad, the thin film pad being wider at a distal end of the thin film pad than at a proximal end of the thin film pad;
- (b) a plurality of electrode contacts disposed on the thin film pad;
- and
- (c) a proximal connector attached to the proximal end of the thin film pad,
- wherein each of the at least two electrode segments is deployable separately from each other of the at least two electrode segments and positionable in relation to each other such that the thin film pad of each of the at least two electrode segments is disposed adjacent to each other in a fanned arrangement,
- wherein the proximal connector of each of the at least two electrode segments is disposed in a stacked configuration upon deployment such that the proximal connector of each of the at least two electrode segments can be disposed through a single opening in a skull of the patient.
