ABSTRACT:
The intracranial ventricular catheter comprises a catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end. A connector is located at the proximal end of the catheter body and an inflatable balloon is mounted at the distal end of the catheter body. A stopcock mechanism is mounted along the catheter body at a position distal to the proximal connector. The catheter body has at least one port in a sidewall thereof at a position just proximal to the inflatable balloon. The catheter body has a first passageway extending from the stopcock mechanism to an interior space of the inflatable balloon. The catheter body also has a second passageway extending from the port to and through the proximal connector, to a pressure sensing device connected to the proximal connector.
