Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled access to the cerebral ventricular system, this cannula is used for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sampling, temporary drainage, intraventricular medication delivery, and other procedures requiring percutaneous or open ventricular entry. The 9 Fr profile offers a low‑profile option for controlled aspiration and fluid egress while maintaining a lumen large enough for standard suction tubing or syringe attachment.
Design & Configuration
The straight, open‑lumen design with visible graduations along the shaft facilitates depth control during placement and helps reduce the risk of over-insertion. The 11 cm length is selected to reach the ventricular cavity in typical cranial approaches while allowing the surgeon to monitor insertion depth visually. A smooth internal bore minimizes occlusion and eases aspiration and irrigation.
