Editor’s take
In favor
- Graphene electrode chemistry — higher charge-injection density
- First-in-human clinical milestone reached at Salford Royal (2024)
- FDA Breakthrough Device designation
Against
- Investigational; no commercial availability
- Currently tethered intraoperative connector
- Long-term graphene biocompatibility data still maturing
