The present disclosure relates to a medical device, methods of making a medical device, and methods of delivering medical device. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a medical device having a self-expanding stent and a thin-film neural interface. The stent comprises a plurality of struts having a substantially elliptical or circular geometry arranged in series from a proximal end to a distal end of the stent, and a thin-film neural interface attached to the stent. Each strut of the self-expanding stent comprises a top portion and a base portion integrally connected with the top portion at a first connection point and a second connection point such that the top portion moves relative to the base portion. The self-expanding stent provides a retracted configuration to protect the thin-film neural interface during delivery, and an expanded configuration to deploy the thin-film neural interface.
