Abstrakt		The aim of the work was to develop the cell to be used in electrochemical and electrophysiological measurements in peripheral nerves, when electrical stimulating pulses are selectively applied to preselected locations along the nerve. The main part of the cell is the silicone spiral cuff system, including spiral matrix of ninety-nine platinum electrodes, arranged in eleven longitudinal spiral electrode configurations of nine electrodes for establishing electrical contact with specific sites on the peripheral nerve. To maximize the fatigue life of lead wires connected to the electrodes, which should sustain frequent bending, a high frequency miniature and highly flexible, multi-stranded and enameled copper wire, was used. The cell is made of Plexiglas and is instrumented with the precision temperature probe, Ag/AgCl reference electrode, 3D micro-manipulator positioning system and custom designed force transducers to measure stretching and radial pressure that could be applied on nerve segment during measurements.
