The NeuralGlider Inserter from Actuated Medical uses ultrasonic micro-vibration to reduce forces and resultant dimpling during neural implant insertions. It has been tested in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo with a variety of neural implants. The reduced insertion force facilitates slow (0.1 mm/s), accurate implant insertions while minimizing displacement/dimpling of the cortical surface, helping to preserve the integrity of the underlying neural tissue.

Reduces Insertion Force – Micron-scale, ultrasonic vibration during insertion reduces the force required to penetrate the brain surface.
Improves Accuracy – Reduced insertion force facilitates slow (0.1 mm/s or slower), accurate array insertions while minimizing dimpling or tissue displacement.
Preserves Tissue Integrity – Slow and accurate insertions with minimal tissue displacement can result in a better signal-to-noise ratio compared to conventional insertions.
Integrated software – Controls insertion velocity and depth.
Produces consistent insertions – The NeuralGlider Inserter standardizes electrode insertions for all users so researchers can eliminate variability in electrode placement methodology (e.g., velocity, depth, tissue deformation) and ensure reproducibility across experiments.
Compatibility with a wide range of neural implants – Custom coupling solutions are available to facilitate NeuralGlider Inserter use with a wide range of commercial and ‘homemade’ implant styles. Rental or purchase of the NeuralGlider Inserter includes engineering time to support the development of a coupler for your preferred neural implant.
