Abstract
The present invention provides a hybrid composite for medical devices that interface with biological tissues. The hybrid composite comprises at least one first layer of conformable polymeric material, a second layer of insulating polymeric material, and one or more active components and/or one or more passive components, wherein the one or more active components and/or the one or more passive components are partially or completely embedded in the first layer of conformable polymeric material or the second layer of insulating polymeric material. Preferably, the conformable polymeric material is an elastomer, a hydrogel or a biodissolvable polymer and the insulating polymeric material is parylene or silicon carbide. A method of forming the inventive hybrid composite is also provided.

13. A method of forming a hybrid composite, the method comprising:
-
providing a substrate;
applying a layer of conformable polymeric material on at least one surface of the substrate;
partially curing the layer of conformable polymeric material;
applying an insulating polymeric material on the partially cured layer of conformable polymeric material to form a layer of insulating polymeric material;
applying one or more active and/or passive components on the layer of insulating polymeric material; and
partially or completely passivating the one or more active and/or passive components with the insulating polymeric material. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
