Catheter Locking Device
NTDRAIN Catheter Locking Device
A catheter locking device designed for safe intracranial drainage, helping prevent unwanted catheter displacement during ventricular drainage procedures.
Product Overview
NTDRAIN Catheter Locking Device for intracranial drainage
NTDRAIN Catheter Locking Device is presented as a locking mechanism for ventricular drainage catheters. The device is implanted in the craniotomy hole and is designed to help prevent catheter movement from the desired placement position.
The product system combines a locking device with dedicated instrumentation for catheter placement and catheter removal, supporting a clear two-stage workflow for neurosurgical use.
Product Details
Catheter locking for neurosurgical drainage procedures
A concise technical summary highlights the key references of the NTDRAIN system, including device purpose, available versions, dedicated instruments and surgical-room use.
System Components
A dedicated set for catheter placement and removal
The NTDRAIN kit includes the locking device and disposable dedicated instruments described in the user instructions, supporting both implantation and removal stages.
NTDRAIN device
The device includes a crown with external teeth and internal flexible tabs used to clamp the catheter.
Catheter version
Kit NTDRAIN 3.0 is indicated for 3.0 mm catheters.
Catheter version
Kit NTDRAIN 3.3 is indicated for 3.3 mm catheters.
NtApplier + NtActivator
NtApplier supports implantation; NtActivator is dedicated to catheter removal from under the skin.
Surgical Workflow
From catheter placement to catheter removal
The workflow summarizes the main operative logic described in the NTDRAIN user instructions: craniotomy preparation, device placement, catheter locking and later catheter release/removal.
- Skin flap and craniotomyThe instructions indicate a skin flap suitable for cranial perforation and a craniotomy hole made using a 14 mm drill.
- Catheter diameter checkThe external diameter of the catheter must be checked, selecting the corresponding 3.0 mm or 3.3 mm NTDRAIN kit version.
- Device insertionUsing NtApplier, the device is inserted into the craniotomy hole while compression opens the flexible tabs.
- Catheter placementThe catheter is inserted through the device while the tabs are open, then locked by the flexible tabs.
- Catheter removalWhen no longer needed, the catheter can be removed using NtActivator by acting externally on the skin.
- Long-term placementAfter catheter removal, the device remains under the skin and can perform its aesthetic function as described in the instructions.
