Product Overview
The Elsberg Ventricular Cannula is a specialized, blunt-tipped needle used primarily for accessing the brain’s ventricular system. Its “beast-like” structural integrity ensures it maintains its trajectory during insertion, while the smooth, atraumatic tip is designed to minimize damage to sensitive brain parenchyma. Whether used for emergency drainage or diagnostic sampling, the Elsberg Cannula provides the reliability required for high-stakes neurological intervention.
Key Features
-
Atraumatic Blunt Tip: The distal end is meticulously rounded to prevent the accidental laceration of blood vessels or neural pathways during passage to the ventricles.
-
Integrated Luer-Lock Hub: Features a standard universal Luer-lock connection at the proximal end, ensuring a secure, leak-proof attachment to syringes or drainage systems.
-
Depth-Calibration Markings: The shaft includes precision-etched millimeter graduations, providing the neurosurgeon with real-time feedback on the depth of insertion relative to the skull.
-
Removable Internal Stylet: Comes equipped with a perfectly fitted internal stylet that prevents tissue from entering the lumen during insertion, ensuring a clear flow once the target is reached.
-
Ultra-Smooth Bore: The interior of the cannula is polished to a mirror finish to prevent the clotting of blood or the buildup of proteinaceous debris, ensuring consistent flow rates.
