GUIDE FOR THE INTRACRANIAL POSITIONING OF CEREBRAL CATHETERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a guide (1) for the intracranial positioning of a cerebral catheter (5) through a hole (6) made on the cranial theca (7) of a patient, said guide (1) comprising a substantially cylindrical, lengthened body (2), hollow and open at the two ends, respectively a proximal or external end (2') / from which a pipe (3) for guiding the catheter (5), that extends for a substantial portion of the length of the body (2), begins, and a distal or intracranial end (2") having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the hole (6) made on the cranial theca (7), a stop element (4), made on said body (2) close to said distal end (2"), in order to define the portion of the body (2) that can be inserted into said hole (6), a slot (8), realized in said body (2), which extends partially from said distal end (2") to said proximal end, in order to allow the clamping of the catheter (5) when positioned.
