Biotectix, LLC, a developer of medical device conductive coatings, has worked with SurModics Inc. to develop Amplicoat, a new conductive coating designed to enhance communication at the interface between human tissue and a medical device’s electrode. Amplicoat enables device electrode miniaturization, offering higher numbers of electrodes for a given-sized lead or device and providing greater tissue-sensing resolution as well as more localized stimulation control. The coating enables higher signal fidelity lower power requirements and reduced stimulation thresholds.
