Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Monitors: Products & Design Features

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is nothing but the pressure inside the head/skull and therefore in the brain tissues & Cerebrospinal Fluids (CSF). Intracranial pressure monitoring devices evaluate the intracranial pressure when inserted through the skull of an afflicted patient suffering from an erratic ICP level. The ICP monitoring devices are being universally utilized for trauma patients with severe brain/head injuries or structural lesions. The global intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring devices market is anticipated to reach USD 1.9 billion by 2025, as per a new report published by Grand View Research, Inc. There is a wide range of products available to effectively perform the functions/operations of the IPC monitoring systems.

Gaeltec Products

The ICT/B pressure sensor is designed to check ICP subdurally. The device comprises a balloon-covered pressure sensor that turns on when filled with air. This monitor is reusable and self zero-balances in vivo.

Codman Products:

The Codman MicroSensor catheter is utilized as an intraventricular or intraparenchymal monitor based on the catheter depth. If it is utilized as an intra-ventricular monitor, it will also allow CSF drainage. This device utilizes a fiber-optic transducer that has to be zero-balanced before insertion. This ICP monitoring device has a micro-miniature strain gauge placed at the tip of the device that sends out the changes in ICP to a diaphragm. Alterations in electrical resistance are displayed on an external monitor.

Integra Neuroscience Products:

The Integra Neuroscience is a CSF diversion system that is involved in evaluating the ICP. The catheter tubing is transparent and has depth markings. It also comprises a radio-opaque barium sulfite bands. The readings of ICP are based on a fluid-packed transduction system that sends out the changes in ICP to a diaphragm on strain gauge transducer with the help of a saline-filled tube. This monitor must be in level with the Foreman of Monro (around at the level of the External Auditory Canal (EAC)) after insertion. It should also be zero-balanced on a daily basis. The level of the drain can be accustomed for less or more CSF drainage.

Market Insights:

The global intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring devices market is likely to have rapid due to the rising neurological diseases occurrence and growing awareness concerning different treatments for such diseases. Some major players in the market are Codman & Shurtleff, Inc.; Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corp.; & RAUMEDIC AG.
