METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FLUID DELIVERY

摘要

A method for delivering fluid to a brain of a subject is disclosed. This method includes the steps of: making one or more incisions in a subject; implanting one or more catheters in the brain of the subject; subcutaneously implanting a first part of a modular fluid delivery apparatus in the subject, the first part of the modular fluid delivery apparatus comprising a first length of tubing having a first end and a second end, the first end having a first fluid connector portion attached thereto and the second end being connected to the one or more catheters; and closing the one or more incisions such that the first part of the modular fluid delivery apparatus and the one or more catheters are entirely subcutaneously implanted within the subject.
