Technical and Surgical Accessories for Neuromonitoring Sterile and Non-Sterile Accessories for Measurement Purposes

Application and positioning of catheters

BOLT-DRILL KIT

The BOLT-DRILL KIT is a set of single-use sterile items designed to create access and provide secure fixation for NEUROVENT catheters on the skull of a patient. It consists of a Bolt and a Drill.

For the application of the catheters, it is necessary to pass through the calvaria using a drill and a suitable DRILL KIT. The DRILL bit size is selected to match the diameter of the BOLT screw. The DRILL KIT is disposable and for single use only, since it keeps its sharpness only for a short time due to the abrasive properties of the bone. 

To safely position the measuring catheter, a BOLT is screwed into the drilled hole. By means of a screwing-in tool the BOLT is fixed in the skull and creates a seal for the drilling hole. The catheter is also firmly secured into the BOLT with the help of a flexible sealing cap. This way, the catheter is provided with a certain strain relief to protect it from damage caused by the patient's movements. The dura is opened using the atraumatic dura opener from RAUMEDIC.

Safe and secure positioning of NEUROVENT-PTO 2L BOLT

BOLT KIT PTO 2L

The BOLT KIT PTO 2L is a two-lumen BOLT which provides secure positioning of the NEUROVENT-PTO 2L BOLT and the microdialysis catheter through a single access port.

BOLT KIT PTO 2L ensures a safe positioning of the measuring catheters in the drilled hole. The BOLT is fixed in the skull with a screwing-in tool, creating a seal for the drilling hole. Because of the low height and the flexible lumens above the BOLT screw, the BOLT KIT PTO 2L is ideally suited for clinical applications.

For subcutaneous tunneling

Tunneling KIT

Another possibility for the application for subcutaneous tunneling is the Tunneling KIT CH8 and CH12. The fir-tree-like connection of the trocar provides a secure hold for the tunneling sleeve, which is cut off after being placed under the scalp.

For zeroing procedures on patient monitors

Zero-Point Simulator NPS2

The Zero-Point Simulator NPS2 is attached directly to the invasive blood pressure (IBP) port of the patient monitor. All RAUMEDIC catheters are calibrated in the manufacturing process and therefore are ready to use. The Zero-Point Simulator NPS2 is used to provide the monitor with an exact "zero" during the zeroing procedure.

Displaying ICP and Oxygen Partial Pressure

Cable PTO and Cable LWL

To measure oxygen partial pressure, Cable PTO and Cable LWL are the necessary cables which are connected to the RAUMEDIC devices. The optical Cable LWL hereby provides the oxygen signal, and the Cable PTO supplies intracranial pressure and temperature signals to the RAUMEDIC devices.
