The CSF Reservoir consists of a silicone dome-shaped reservoir incorporating a polypropylene needle-stop, and an F8 integrated connector. The CSF Reservoir can be provided alone. Other configurations include a right angle ventricular catheter (7 cm or 9 cm length) and a 15 cm introducing rod, or a 15 cm straight ventricular catheter and a right angle guide. The ventricular catheter features radiopaque length markings at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 cm from the tip.
A sterile, flexible tube intended to be surgically inserted through the skull for long-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 is typically used for measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) and as part of a shunt system. 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, catheter holder); it does not include a sensor. This is a single-use device.
