Interventions
IRRAflow
IRRAflow consists of a control unit and disposables (dual-lumen catheter and tube set) to offer an integrated and synchronized active fluid exchange system. Active fluid exchange is the combination of traditional gravity-driven drainage with periodic, controlled irrigation of the catheter probe to exchange any pathological fluid collection with neutral physiological fluids.
EVD
An external ventricular drain (EVD), also known as a ventriculostomy or extraventricular drain, is a device used in neurosurgery to treat hydrocephalus and relieve elevated intracranial pressure when the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid inside the brain is obstructed.
