Understanding the relevant biophysical properties of the spinal dura mater is essential to the
design of medical devices that will directly interact with this membrane or influence the …

Introduction The intrathecal space remains underutilized for diagnostic testing, invasive
monitoring or as a pipeline for the delivery of neurological therapeutic agents and devices …

We are developing a novel intradural spinal cord (SC) stimulator designed to improve the
treatment of intractable pain and the sequelae of SC injury. In-vivo ovine models of …

Introduction: Intradural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may offer significant therapeutic
benefits for those with intractable axial and extremity pain, visceral pain, spasticity …

Spinal cord stimulation has been utilized for decades in the treatment of numerous
conditions such as failed back surgery and phantom limb syndromes, arachnoiditis, cancer …

Background: Spinal cord stimulation has been in use for decades and is growing as a
therapeutic treatment option. A significant problem arising from the epidural location of the …

Introduction Contemporary approaches to surgical site infections have evolved significantly
over the last several decades in response to the economic pressures of soaring health care …

The authors are developing a novel type of spinal cord stimulator, designed to be placed
directly on the pial surface of the spinal cord, for more selective activation of target tissues …

Introduction We are developing a novel intradural spinal cord stimulator for treatment of
neuropathic pain and spasticity. A key feature is the means by which it seals the dura mater …

We have used finite-element (FE) modeling to investigate the mechanical compliance,
positional stability and contact pressures associated with a novel type of spinal cord …
