Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:A nerve cuff comprises a flexible helical substrate. The flexible helical substrate is configured to at least partially wrap around a filamentous tissue comprising a nerve. The flexible helical substrate is configurable in (a) a flexed position by at least partially unwinding the helical nerve cuff, and (b) a relaxed position. One or more electrodes are positioned along the length of the helical substrate. A handle portion is attached to the helical substrate configured to apply a force that configures the helical substrate in the flexed position.
