Flexible Electrode Array for Retinal Stimulation
In this Work, ITO/PET (Indium Tin Oxide / Polyethylene Terephthalate) electrode structure which provides biocompatibility, mechanical stability and flexibility is fabricated. Flexible ITO/PET implantable electrode array for a retina has been developed. The electrode array is fabricated on a thin PET/ITO substrate and is encapsulated using, SU-8, an insulating material. PET substrate and SU-8 po...
متن کاملAqueous Garlic Extract Alleviates Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Retinal Tissue of Rats with Diabetes Type 2
Background and Objective: Retinopathy is a common difficulty in diabetic subjects. Hyperglycemia damages the tissues through stimulation of oxidative stress and inflammation. Since the antioxidant function of garlic has been proven, in the current report the activity of aqueous garlic extract (AGE) upon the oxidative stress and inflammation in the retinal substances of rats with diabetes was in...
متن کاملThe value of preoperative tests in the selection of blind patients for a permanent microelectronic implant.
PURPOSE To determine the best candidates (ie, those requiring lowest current levels delivered to the retina to elicit visual perceptions) for long-term implantation of a microelectronic retinal implant through a series of preoperative visual, psychophysical, and electrophysiological tests. METHODS This study protocol was granted an investigational device exemption by the Food and Drug Adminis...
متن کاملA New Flexible Microfabricated Polyimide-based Platinum Electrodes for Stimulation of Rat Retinal Tissue in Vitro and Recording Using a Multi-electrode Array
We present a new flexible micro-fabricated polyimide-based platinum (Pt) array of four planar electrodes system for local stimulation of the rat retinal photoreceptor layer and simultaneous extracellular recording (ECR) from large population of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) using the MEA60 setup (Multi Channel Systems) in vitro conditions. Our results revealed that RGCs present On or/and Off li...
