SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRICALLY SHIELDING A MICROELECTRODE ARRAY IN A PHYSIOLOGICAL PATHWAY FROM ELECTRICAL NOISE
First Claim
1. An electrically shielded containment system used to substantially block electrical noise at a physiological pathway in a conductive complex physiological solution, comprising:
- at least one signal microelectrode being operable for implantation in the physiological pathway; and
an electrical shielding wrap configured to substantially enclose the at least one signal microelectrode and the physiological pathway sufficient to act as a barrier of undesired electrical signals, wherein the electrical shielding wrap includes a plurality of holes that enable fluid communication of physiological fluids between an inside and outside of the wrap.

Abstract
A system and method for electrically shielding a physiological pathway from electrical noise is disclosed. The method includes the operation of implanting at least one signal microelectrode into a patient such that the signal microelectrode is proximate to the physiological pathway. An additional operation includes substantially enclosing the microelectrode and a section of the physiological pathway with an electrical shielding wrap. The electrical shielding wrap includes a plurality of holes that enable fluid communication of physiological fluids between an inside and outside of the wrap.
