Carbon Nanotube-based CI Electrode Array

摘要

The present invention relates to a wire comprising a carbon nanotube fiber; And a carrier portion made of a silicone elastomer, which is formed so as to surround the lead portion, and a method of manufacturing the same. According to the present invention, when a carbon nanotube-based cochlear electrode is fabricated, it is possible to reduce the physical burden imposed on the tissue, thereby reducing damage to the auditory cells, as compared with the case of using a conventional metal wire (Pt / Ir alloy) Can be reduced.
