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.
