The NeuralGlider Inserter ​

For use in preclinical animal studies; mounts to a standard stereotaxic apparatus

Key Advantages:

• Reduces insertion force and tissue dimpling yielding less insertion damage and neuron loss​
• Integrated software for control of insertion velocity and depth​
• Improved penetration and insertion of variety of neural implants styles​

How It Works:

• Applies micron-scale, ultrasonic vibration to microelectrode arrays/probes during insertion​
• Vibration reduces the force required to penetrate the brain surface​
• Reduced insertion force minimizes displacement, or dimpling, of the brain tissue layers​
• Reduction of dimpling facilitates slow (0.1-1 mm/s) insertions with less tissue damage and more accuracy
