CorTec GmbH products

One or two of CorTecs °AirRay Electrodes. The Brain Interchange System can be equipped with adapters for DBS electrodes. The implanted internal electronics unit is placed inside a proprietary hermetic ceramic encapsulation. It amplifies, filters and digitizes neural signals and electrically stimulates neural tissue through the electrodes. It is inductively powered by the external unit and communicates with it via a broad-band radio link.

A small, lightweight head piece is held attached to the skin by a magnet opposite to the implant. The communication unit for radio communication with the implant, typically belted to the upper arm or wheel chair of the patient, also controls the power supplied to the head piece and communicates with the controller computer. The External Unit consists of the Head Piece which supplies power inductively to the Implanted Internal Electronics Unit and to the Communication Unit. The Implanted Internal Electronics Unit communicates with the External Unit wirelessly through the skin via radio frequency transmission.
