A medical electrode array system comprising a thin-film substrate, a plurality of electrode contacts disposed on the thin-film substrate, and a plurality of traces. The plurality of electrode contacts is configured to provide electrical contact points. The plurality of traces is electrically connected to the plurality of electrode contacts. A electrode contact of the plurality of electrode contacts has a dedicated trace of the plurality of traces that provides electrical connectivity to the electrode contact. The thin-film substrate is configured to flex to maintain continuous contact with contours of patient anatomy. The plurality of traces includes flexible spring-like portions to add flexibility to the thin-film substrate.

Systems and methods for flexible electrode arrays

Systems and methods for ruggedized neural probes are provided. Such probes may be adapted for penetrating tissue. An exemplary ruggedized penetrating electrode array system includes an elongate shank having one or more electrodes disposed on at least one exterior surface thereof and a backend structure. A proximal end of the elongate shank is secured to the backend structure. The exemplary array system further includes an elongate carrier secured to the backend structure and extending away from the backend structure toward the distal end of the elongate shank, the elongate carrier being more rigid than the elongate shank. Methods for fabricating such an array system are also provided.
