We have designed, built, and tested an apparatus used for investigating the biomechanical
response of a novel intradural spinal cord stimulator to the simulated physiological …

We have designed, built and tested an anthropomorphic-scale surrogate spinal canal, for
use in preliminary evaluations of the performance characteristics of a novel intradural spinal …

We have characterized the mechanical compliance of an improved version of the
suspension system used to position the electrode-bearing membrane of an intradural …

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 …

This study develops a means of delivering electrical stimuli directly to the pial surface of the
spinal cord for treatment of intractable pain. This intradural implant must remain in direct …

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 …

We have developed a spinal cord surrogate for use in testing a pial-surface spinal cord
stimulator. Our surrogate is of a commercially available silicone mix, has an oval cross …

We have measured the forces that act on the electrode-bearing surface of an intradural
neuromodulator designed to be in direct contact with the pial surface of the spinal cord, as …

We report the development of a surrogate spinal cord for evaluating the mechanical
suitability of electrode arrays for intraspinal implants. The mechanical and interfacial …

We have designed, built and tested a novel device for placing intradural neurmodulator
implants directly on the pial surface of the spinal cord. This applier tool is designed for …
