Nerve Cuffs offer improved reliability, easier implantation and more control compared to the traditional hook-type electrodes. They eliminate issues related to recording stability and space availability, and significantly reduce experiment preparation time. Even though Nerve Cuffs are priori inferior to hook-type electrodes in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, they offer a less traumatic solution for acute and chronic experiments.

Nerve Cuffs are made of biocompatible and autoclavable materials. They are designed to provide flexibility in electrode contact location and material, number of contacts (two is minimum required), length, inner diameter, position and type of surgical sutures and other parameters to best fit the target nerve. Both micro and normal designs are available.
