Abstract

The invention relates to a functionalized implantable flexible electrode and an application thereof. The functionalized implantable flexible electrode at least comprises a function layer capable of generating a current or voltage. In the invention, through adopting the function layer which can generate the current or the voltage via triggering, the flexible electrode does not need complex line connection and device packaging and the function of a nerve stimulation device can be realized so that an operation risk and the safety risk of long-term implantation are greatly reduced, and the application field of the nerve stimulation device is expanded. The invention also provides the applications of the above functionalized wide-width implantable electrode in manufacturing an implantable artificial retina, an implantable artificial cochlea, an implantable cardiac pacemaker, and an implantable deep brain stimulator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a functional implantable flexible electrode and its application, in particular to a functional implantable flexible electrode with a functional layer capable of forming current or voltage through triggering and its application, belonging to the technical field of biomaterials. Background technique [0002] With the continuous acceleration of the pace of life, because people are often in a state of high physical and mental tension, neurological diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, depression, and epilepsy are increasing day by day. At the same time, global aging has exacerbated the probability of neurological diseases and become a major social burden. [0003] The rapid development of wearable or implantable nerve electrical stimulation therapy and the appearance of neural prosthesis have brought new hope to the majority of patients. Nerve electrical stimulation therapy is a treatment method that regulat...
