Abstract
A novel ultra-thin neural implant () is provided that is based on a cellulose thin film () featuring an array () of electrodes (). Due to the use of cellulose as the base material, the implant () can be safely handled during a micro-surgery, despite its high softness and conformability. Such an implant () may be useful in numerous applications ranging from electrical stimulation in neural prostheses, electro-stimulated regeneration of neural tissue to accurate recording of nerve signals. The robustness of the implant () results from a woven fabric () that is integrated in the cellulose carrier thin film (). Several approaches for enhancing the tissue compatibility of the implant () are also provided.
