What it concerns
The invention discloses a pre-assembly structure, a pre-assembly method and an implantation method of a microwire electrode. The pre-assembly structure comprises a microwire electrode and a plurality of microwire electrodes, wherein the microwire electrode is provided with a substrate and a plurality of microwire structures attached to the substrate; microfilament structures are arranged on the organic thin film; and the rigid implanting tool is fixedly connected with the microwire structure, and the rigid implanting tool is used for implanting the electrode recording site on the microwire structure into the target object. By means of the technical scheme, the problems that in the prior art, a microwire electrode is prone to adhering to a substrate in the drying process, so that separation is difficult, and after being dried, the microwire electrode is unstable in air and prone to fluttering and winding, so that operation difficulties are brought to the follow-up implantation step can be effectively solved.
The abstract as published by the patent office, from CN120616543A. It describes the invention; it is not a statement of what is protected.
Protection themes
Interface and electrodes
Electrodes and arrays
What the filing appears to be about, read by published rules from its title, abstract and classification codes (A61B5/25, A61B5/268, A61B5/293, A61B5/294). The claims define what a patent protects, and they are not read here.
Why it matters
- Interface and electrodes
- Everything downstream works with what the contacts pick up. Their number, size and distance from the neurons set the ceiling on the signal. The problem behind it: more contacts, closer to neurons, that still record after years in tissue that reacts to them.
Why the layer matters to the field, not a judgement of this filing. A patent family shows that protection was sought. It does not show that the technology was built, is used in a product, or works in people. The whole stack

Dates as the offices published them. Office records are in the offices' own words and are a selection: refusals, lapses and withdrawals, and records that name an owner. Each concerns one member of the family, not the family as a whole, and another member in the same office may stand. Whether a patent is in force today is not assessed.
