Omnetics Based Microwire Arrays
Features:
• Custom configurations up to 32 channels.
• Polyimide-insulated tungsten microwire for excellent recording characteristics and easy insertion.
• An optional epoxy “land” near the recording end of the array maintains electrode spacing.
• Laser cut manufacturing for custom array lengths. Each wire is individually cut to length, so you can
specify an array profile that matches the geometry of your target tissue.
• Optional laser sharpened tips to minimize tissue damage during insertion.
• Lightweight design and small overall array size.
