Commentary: Geometric Characterisation of Local Changes in Tungsten Microneedle Tips after In-Vivo Insertion into Peripheral Nerves

Beskrivelse

Winnie Jensen, professor at the Department of Health Science and Technology at the University of Aalborg and others write in an Open Access article that peripheral neural interfaces are used to connect the peripheral nervous system to high-tech devices and computer interfaces. Nowadays, soft materials are used to build the main part of these interfaces, as they are able to mimic the mechanical properties of peripheral nerves. Tungsten microneedles are used to insert soft neural interfaces, as they are able to pierce the peripheral nervous tissue because of their high stiffness.(Summary provided by Infomedia) Sources:Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 06-09-2022
