Prices valid in USA, Canada, and PR only.
Nerve cuff electrodes are designed for reliable recording and/or stimulation of any peripheral nerve. They can be used acutely or for chronic implantation, with a wide selection of inner diameters available to be selected based on the nerve diameter. The nerve cuffs are designed to provide flexibility in electrode contact location for recording and stimulation protocols.

Standard Nerve Cuff
Many custom combinations of inner diameters and contact arrangements are available.
Tri-bipolar Nerve Cuff
Complex tripolar recording/stimulating sets are available.
Concentric Nerve Cuff
Concentric electrodes have multiple contacts around a single point of the nerve, allowing recording or stimulation at different locations around the same point.
X-Wide Contact Nerve Cuffs
-
Extra large platinum ribbon contacts maximize electrode surface area while maintaining the reliability and customizability - Ideal for any electrical stimulation studies, especially those using KHz stimulation to block activity of peripheral nerves
- Lower thresholds and increased safety margins provide you with new freedom to develop even more effective stimulation paradigms
- The same reliability enhancement features as our standard cuffs, including reinforced bonds and specially-designed helical leads, providing best-in-industry implanted longevity
- Fully-customizable specifications, including contact spacing, cuff length and lead features, with a wide range of available inner diameters from over 6 mm down to 300 µm.
- Configurable for both acute and chronic use
- Connector options for any available stimulation or recording system
The key utility for these cuffs is provided by the very large contact surface area, which is ideal for studies requiring high current levels and when using kilohertz electrical stimulation to achieve block of activity in peripheral nerves. The reduced impedances ensure that the output of stimulation sources is not attenuated, that there is no destructive charge build-up, and that true block of nerve activity is achieved.
Sterilization
Nerve cuffs are made entirely of autoclavable materials — silicone rubber, Teflon and stainless steel. They can be steam autoclaved without special precautions. If gas sterilization (EtO) is preferred, be sure to pack nerve cuffs in a gas-permeable bag and allow adequate outgassing time (at least 48 hours) to be sure all toxic gases have been desorbed from the silicone rubber.
