A sterile flexible tube intended to be surgically inserted through the skull for short-term (= 30 days) subdural access to the brain (e.g., cerebral ventricles, cystic tumours) for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage and/or infusion of materials (e.g., chemotherapeutic agents); it may also be intended for measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP). It may include an attached port/reservoir at its proximal end that is placed subcutaneously to facilitate material infusion/collection, and/or accessory devices intended to facilitate catheter introduction and/or stabilization (e.g., stylet, bolts, drills, catheter holder); it does not include a sensor. This is a single-use device.
