A dual lumen catheter provides for percutaneous drainage of a subdural hematoma to irrigate and drain the subdural space. The dual lumen catheter comprises a drainage channel dimensioned to drain subdural fluid collection from the subdural space and an irrigation channel dimensioned to irrigate the subdural space. Several methods are disclosed for inserting the dual lumen catheter into the subdural space through a small burr hole drilled in the skull. The dual lumen catheter then both irrigates and drains the subdural space in order to both effectively evacuate a subdural hematoma as well as cleanse the subdural space. The subdural space is thereby effectively collapsed, and the brain returns to be adjacent to the dura mater and skull.

The assembly and method of the present invention guides the insertion of a medical device, such as a guide wire, into the subdural space surrounding the brain of a vertebrate. Preferably, the assembly is dimensioned to guide insertion of the medical device in a direction substantially tangent to the curvature of the brain. Further preferably, the assembly would allow its removal from the subdural space without disturbance of the location of the medical device. Still further preferably, the assembly will help to protect the brain from injury during insertion of the medical device into the subdural space.

The device of the present invention guides the insertion of a medical device into the spinal epidural space of a vertebral column. Preferably, the device will be dimensioned to guide insertion of a medical device through a tubular retractor. Further preferably, the device may be used by surgeons to dissect the dura mater away from the lamina. Still further preferably, the device would protect the spinal cord from injury during insertion of a spinal cord stimulator by guiding the spinal cord stimulator through the epidural space at an angle substantially parallel to the spinal cord.

An implant and method for fusion of adjacent vertebra. The implant has a curved plate having bores for reception of bone screws. In one embodiment, aligned medial sots extend longitudinally in the plate. An interbody graft is attached to or is integrally formed with the plate. In use, retraction post are temporarily secured to adjacent vertebrae and the slots aligned with posts. The graft is inserted and adjacent vertebrae are compressed and held until permanent screw fixation is completed. The compression tool and the posts are removed leaving the vertebrae compressed against the graft to promote healing. In an alternate embodiment, the plate carries multiple grafts which are slidably relative to the plate.
