Abstract:
Disclosed are devices, electrodes, systems, methods, and other implementations, including a device that includes an electrode comprising an elongated body, a plurality of electrode contacts disposed on a first side of the elongated body, and a cannulation channel defined along a longitudinal axis of the electrode. The device further includes a guiding mechanism received within the cannulation channel, the guiding mechanism configured to guide the electrode for placement at a target area inside a body of a patient. In some embodiments, the cannulation channel is configured to receive irrigation fluids dispensed through a perforated end located near a leading tip of the elongated body.

Claim (Index 30):
The device of  claim 1 , wherein the cannulation channel is further configured to, during progression of the flexible electrode array to the tissue in the subdural space, deliver irrigation fluid via an irrigation fluid passage defined through one or more of:\n a space defined between a body of the flexible guiding mechanism received within the cannulation channel and interior walls of the cannulation channel, or an interior channel defined within the body of the flexible guiding mechanism received within the cannulation channel.
