Halo-18 Exit Tip

Halo-18 Exit Tips feature customizable exit patterns and chimneys for:

  • Smaller craniotomies
  • Groups of closely-spaced tetrodes
  • 4.5mm hole depth to aid vertical electrode travel and tetrode wire protection, allowing tetrode wires to protrude 3mm out of the polymicro tubing and reducing tissue damage near targeted recording sites.
