Abstract

A burr hole device is configured to receive a catheter and a cable of a sheath. The sheath is configured to receive a portion of the catheter and has an electrode. When the catheter and sheath are implanted with the burr hole device, the catheter and electrode of the sheath are implanted in a brain. Systems and apparatuses may include the burr hole device and/or a cranial port device, the catheter, and the sheath.

Claims (24)

1 . A burr hole device comprising:

a body comprising a flange portion adapted to be disposed on a surface of a skull adjacent to a burr hole in the skull of a subject, the flange portion having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;

a lower portion configured to be placed within the burr hole, the lower portion having a tubular portion and a third surface disposed along a bottom surface of the tubular portion, the lower portion configured to be placed within the burr hole; and

a lumen extending from the first surface to the third surface, wherein the lumen is configured to receive a catheter configured to allow fluid to flow to or from a brain of the subject,

wherein the flange portion defines a top groove along the first surface, the top groove extending from the lumen towards a lateral edge of the flange portion to receive the catheter,

wherein the body further defines a cable groove comprising a first groove portion extending from a lateral edge of the second surface towards the lumen, a second groove portion along an outer surface of the tubular portion and a third groove portion extending from a lateral edge of the third surface towards the lumen, and

wherein the cable groove is configured to receive a cable.

2 . The burr hole device of claim 1 , wherein the lower portion of the body is configured to have a clearance of 1 millimeter or less when adapted to be disposed in the burr hole.

3 . The burr hole device of claim 1 , wherein the lower portion of the body has an outer diametric dimension from 10 millimeters to 20 millimeters.

4 . The burr hole device of claim 1 , wherein the upper flange portion of the body has an outer diametric dimension from 15 millimeters to 30 millimeters.

5 . An assembly comprising:

the burr hole device of claim 1 ; and

a sheath disposed adjacent to the burr hole device comprising (i) a sheath body defining a sheath lumen configured to receive the catheter, (ii) a recording electrode disposed on the sheath body, (iii) the cable, and (iv) a conductor electrically coupled to the recording electrode and extending in the cable.

6 . A method comprising:

providing the assembly of claim 5 ;

disposing the burr hole device in the burr hole of the subject;

inserting the catheter through the top groove of the flange portion;

inserting the catheter through the lumen of the burr hole device;

inserting the catheter through the sheath lumen;

implanting a distal end of the catheter in the brain of the subject;

implanting the recording electrode of the sheath beneath the skull of the subject;

inserting the cable of the sheath in the first, second and third groove portions of the cable groove.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein implanting the recording electrode of the sheath beneath the skull of the subject further comprises implanting the recording electrode in the brain of the subject.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein implanting a distal end of the catheter in the brain of the subject comprises implanting the distal end of the catheter in a cerebral ventricle.
