SURGICAL METHOD, DEVICE, SYSTEM AND KIT FOR THE TREATMENT OF HYDROCEPHALUS

摘要

A modular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drain system for treating hydrocephalus without penetration of the gray matter of the brain is disclosed. Modular components of the CSF drain system may include a subarachnoid space (SAS) inlet drain implant, a SAS implant plug, a connector implant, a dural venous sinus (DVS) implant plug, and a DVS outlet drain implant. When implanted, the modular components may be fluidly coupled such that cerebrospinal fluid may flow from a subject's subarachnoid space through the modular components and into the subject's cerebral venous sinuses. A kit including a guide device and the CSF drain system, as well as a method for installing the CSF drain system are also disclosed.
