Implantable microcontact structure for neuroprosthesis in nervous tissue and method therefor.

摘要

Structure implantable microcontact for neuroprótesis for contacting nerve tissue, with a number of contact elements formed on at least one plane support having at least two movable areas relative to one another which can adopt at least two preferred positions, a normal position and a use position and can be arranged the microcontact structure in a compact basic position for transport to or from the implant site, reducing the spatial dimensions of the microcontact structure by folding, nesting or rolling of the relatively moving areas together, and the contact structure can be adjusted in a use position with a planar or three-dimensional structure for mechanical anchoring and for contacting of nerve tissue in the implant, expanding the spatial dimensions of the microcontact structure by opening the fold anidami ent or rolling of the movable areas relative to one another, characterized in that the microcontact structure is a microcontact structure for retinal implantation of one retina implant.
