Ventriculostomy reservoir

摘要

A resealable ventriculostomy reservoir device (10) is provided. The device includes a base (14) having an upper and lower opening, the upper opening defining an internal reservoir well (20), and a cap (12) having an open bottom portion. The device further includes a flange element (22) having a first portion disposed within a portion of the cap and a second portion extending distally beyond the open bottom portion of the cap and adapted for detachably mating with the internal reservoir well of the base. The second portion of the flange element includes a snap fit element adapted to cooperate with a feature on the internal reservoir well to secure the flange element and the base together. A sealing element (32) is disposed between the internal reservoir well and the flange element to provide a fluid tight seal between the base and the flange element when the base and the flange element are detachably mated.
