Enlight
Animal Stimulator Development and Miniaturization Program
Garrett Technologies, Inc. collaborated with Enlight to develop a compact, battery-powered animal stimulation platform designed for tumor research in rodent models. The program spanned concept refinement, voltage gradient modeling, mechanical design, electrical system architecture, embedded firmware, and mobile application development.
With a focus on precise radio frequency voltage delivery and implantable lead systems, Garrett delivered a fully integrated stimulator solution through a structured engineering process—including bench testing, lab validation, and support for preclinical animal studies.
Garrett Technologies, Inc. partnered with Enlight to realize a precision stimulation system—engineered to meet demanding size, performance, and usability requirements for small-animal tumor studies
