Method for guiding flexible electrode and system for implanting flexible electrode

A method for guiding a flexible electrode, comprising:

• applying a pulling force to a first end of the flexible electrode with a guide device to at least partially separate the flexible electrode from a flexible electrode fixing device;
• spraying a liquid to the flexible electrode, such that at least a first section of the flexible electrode comes near to the guide device and is attached to the guide device;
• and
• guiding the flexible electrode with the guide device to a target position.

A method for guiding a flexible electrode, which comprises a first end configured to be adapted for engagement with a guide device and a first section connected to the first end, wherein the first section has a proximal end adjacent to the first end and a distal end away from the first end,

• wherein the method comprises:
• engaging the guide device with the first end and causing the first section to be suspended from a fixing device via the distal end of the first section;
• spraying a liquid to the flexible electrode in a direction generally from the first section to the guide device, such that at least the first section of the flexible electrode is attached to the guide device;
• and
• guiding the flexible electrode with the guide device.

A system for implanting a flexible electrode, comprising:

• a flexible electrode fixing device located on one side of an implantation target, wherein the fixing device is configured to fix the flexible electrode to be implanted;
• a driving device, which is so configured, that it can be positioned generally on an extension line from the implantation target to the fixing device and to drive a guide device for guiding the flexible electrode to move generally toward the target, wherein the driving device is further configured to drive the guide device to move to pull the flexible electrode after the guide device engages with a first engagement part of the flexible electrode fixed on the fixing device, thereby at least partially separating the flexible electrode from the fixing device;
• and
• a liquid spraying device positioned facing a first section in a portion of the flexible electrode, which is separated from the fixing device, and facing the guide device, wherein the liquid spraying device is configured to spray a liquid having a spraying force generally directed from the first section of the flexible electrode to the guide device, so that at least the first section of the flexible electrode is attached to the guide device under the action of the sprayed liquid, wherein the driving device is further configured to continue driving the guide device to move after at least the first section of the flexible electrode is attached to the guide device, thereby implanting the first engagement part of the flexible electrode and at least a portion of the first section adjacent to the first engagement part into the target.
