    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Devices
    • Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

    Background:

    • Percutaneous needle trephination (PNT) is a neurosurgical procedure.
    • Current fixation methods for PNT needles, such as plaster, may have limitations.
    • Accurate intracranial pressure (ICP) measurement and external ventricular drainage (EVD) are critical in neurocritical care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a novel device for securing the needle in PNT.
    • To present an alternative to traditional plaster fixation methods.
    • To facilitate reliable continuous ICP measurement or EVD.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a newly developed fixation device for PNT needles.
    • Comparison of the device's functionality with conventional fixation techniques (implicitly, plaster).
    • Application of the device in the context of PNT for ICP monitoring or EVD.

    Main Results:

    • The device provides secure fixation of the needle during PNT.
    • It serves as a viable alternative to plaster for needle stabilization.
    • Enables uninterrupted ICP monitoring or CSF drainage.

    Conclusions:

    • The described device offers a secure and effective method for needle fixation in PNT.
    • This innovation may improve the reliability and safety of ICP monitoring and EVD procedures.
    • It represents a potential advancement in neurosurgical instrumentation.
