Silverline® Ventricular Drainage Catheter with cranial bolt
The Spiegelberg Silverline® ventricular drainage catheter with cranial bolt is fixed in the cranial bone with a cranial bolt. After making a burr hole and opening the dura the catheter is inserted into the ventricle. The bolt is pushed down over the catheter and screwed into the cranial bone. Finally, the catheter is fixed in the bolt with the clamping nut. The special silver additive of the Silverline® ventricular drainage catheter reduces the possibility of microbial colonisation of the surface of the device.
