Pressio® intracranial pressure monitoring kit, parenchymal tunneling - Intracerebral sensor catheter

Intended purpose

Catheter kit for implantation in to a patient for monitoring of Intracranial pressure to be displayed on a monitoring device

Functional description

The Pressio® ICP monitoring Kit, parenchymal tunneling PSO-PT (Figure 1) allows continuous monitoring of intracranial pressure. It has a 1 m long catheter with a diameter of 2.1 Fr. At its end is a 1.2 mm diameter capsule enclosing a piezoresistive pressure sensor of the strain gauge type on silicone designed to be placed in the cerebral parenchyma.
