Our Brain Interchange System is a closed-loop brain computer interface, enabling the recording and stimulation of brain and nerve signals in long-term use. This active implantable system combines our technological strengths: electronics, encapsulation, silicone overmolding & soft and flexible grid and paddle electrodes for the brain surface or the spinal cord or cuff electrodes for interfacing the peripheral nervous system.

Based on our flexible technologies we have overcome current limitations. We are, therefore, able to offer the full range of implantable technology. All our products combine innovation, precision, and quality.

With the help of CorTec’s technology, neurological diseases and their symptoms can be addressed.

Products & services

CorTec Brain Interchange

The Brain Interchange System enables interconnection of the nervous system to external information technologies. An interchange of information is realized to modulate the nervous system.

CorTec Brain Interchange Evaluation Kit

The Evaluation Kit is a bench-top-version of the Brain Interchange System. It is electrically identical to the implant, but much easier to handle. The Evaluation Kit is the ideal entrance to the clinical use of the Brain Interchange.

AirRay Electrode Technology

CorTec’s °AirRay electrodes are made from very soft silicone using a high-precision laser manufacturing process. They offer an unprecedented combination of flexibility, softness, stretchability, thinness and density of contacts.

Active Implantable Technologies

CorTec is offering a wide spectrum of services accompanying you all the way through the development of innovative technologies leading to an approved medical device in the end. Our CorTec Encapsulation Technologies enable us to develop customized solutions for your specific requirements. We offer hermetically sealed encapsulations as well as non-hermetic solutions, like overmolding technologies.

°AirRay Cortical Electrodes

°AirRay Cortical Electrode is CorTec’s ECoG electrode for invasive neuromonitoring. It is designed for the recording and stimulation of brain activity from the cortical surface. Monitoring of electrical brain signals supports e.g. the localization of epileptogenic foci or brain mapping. The electrode may be used for a maximum of up to 29 days.

Services

CorTec stands for cutting-edge technology for the next generation of active implants. We provide products and services to enable the communication with the brain or other parts of the nervous system.
