## Beschreibungstext

CorTec is a young medical engineering company focusing on innovations in the field of neurotechnology. With CorTec Brain Interchange we are developing a direct interface between brain and technology.

## Lange Beschreibung

We are thinking ahead, developing tomorrow’s neurotechnology today.

It is our great strength that our technology derives from one single thought – from the basic idea up to its subsequent therapeutic use. This way, we create innovations regarding therapy, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies.

Our most important product is CorTec Brain Interchange, an implantable technology that measures and stimulates brain activity in long-term use.

CorTec Brain Interchange controls itself: The system measures the brain’s activity and thus the effect of its stimulation. It then aligns its further activities with the measured data.

Contrary to other neurotechnological implants currently on the market, CorTec Brain Interchange determines the respective therapeutic demand in direct communication with the brain and thus allows for a gentle treatment.

CorTec Brain Interchange consists of 3 components:

1. Up to two _multi-channel electrodes_ on the brain surface plus eventually two depth electrodes, connected with
2. an _intelligent implant_ that communicates via the skin with
3. a s_oftware_ which reads the measured data and controls the application.

The electrode component oft he implant is at the same time our first product that we are already selling into the research market and also to other companies as subcomponent of their own products. CE and FDA approval are in preparation.

CorTec is a limited liability company that was founded in Freiburg, Germany, in September 2010. In summer of 2018 CorTec moved into new premises closeby the Airport Campus of the University of Freiburg including own clean room facilities. Thus, a continued growth of the company is ensured as well as the existing interconnection with science and research.
