Abstract
There are two different techniques that can be applied for fabricating a nerve cuff electrode: 1. traditionally used silicon rubber tubes or spirals and 2. micromechanical methods. Each technique has its own advantages and restrictions. A hybrid cuff combines desired properties of both: high flexibility, high possible numbers of integrated electrodes, high reproducibility and the ability to embrace nerves even with large diameters
