Paradromics reports its Connexus implant has stayed stable in sheep for more than four years
Paradromics reports that its Connexus brain implant has remained in a healthy sheep's brain for more than four years with almost no loss in signal quality. The company targets a device lifetime of at least 10 years, a goal rather than a demonstrated result. These animal figures come from the company's own reports and have not been independently verified.
- In the animal studies the company reports practically no degradation in signal-to-noise ratio and no tissue migration.
- The implant is hermetically sealed to reduce the need for early replacement, a design the company compares to cardiac pacemakers.
- The first participant in the 10-person feasibility study was implanted in June 2026; no human durability data has been reported yet.
- The company plans to keep enrolling participants before pivotal testing.
