OUR PRODUCTS
TRADITIONAL THIN FILM
INTRAFASCICULAR ELECTRODES
​
Traditional thin films intrafascicular electrodes have a flat thin film structure made of polyimide substrate with Ti/Au electric contacts (4 up to 10 channels). They are inserted into a peripheral nerve longitudinally or transversally. The gold active sites enter into direct contact with neural fibers inside nerve fascicles.
SELINE: SELF-OPENING INTRAFASCICULAR ELECTRODES
​
SELINE is our innovative thin film intrafascicular electrode with a 3D self-opening structure. Sensorized wings will open after the insertion into the nerve maximizing selectivity and stability of the neural contact.
CUSTOM NEURODEVICES
​
SMANIA is able to design and develop customized neurodevices for different neuroscientific experiments (e.g. uECoG, Antennas for wireless neural interfaces, Regenerative Electrodes, Shaft Electrodes).
