Thin-film electrode fabrication techniques.
After a long developmental effort, we can now fabricate, using thin-film techniques, both rigid modiolar multielectrodes and flexible scala tympani multielectrodes which we believe appropriate for long-term implantation in human subjects. In vitro and in vivo life tests are in progress to confirm this expectation.
