Implantable Micro-System For Treatment Of Hydrocephalus
US Patent:
8206334, Jun 26, 2012
Filed:
Apr 6, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/755068
Inventors:
Francis A. Kralick - Philadelphia PA, US
Hongseok Noh - Fort Washington PA, US
Hongseok Noh - Fort Washington PA, US
International Classification:
A61M 19/00
US Classification:
604 9, 604 8, 604264
Abstract:
An implantable system for the treatment of hydrocephalus has a plurality of hollow microneedles in a fixed array. The microneedles have passages there through and are of a size to extend through dura mater with a proximal end on one side of the dura mater and a distal end communicating with the venous system in an area on a second side of the dura mater. An array of microvalves associated with a proximal end of the microneedles include segments movable by a pressure build up of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the interior of the brain to provide open communication between the interior of the brain on one side of the dura mater and the venous system on the second side of the dura mater. A plurality of fluid transmitting members has distal ends communicating with the microvalves and a proximal end communicating with the ventricular space of the brain. The fluid transmitting members transmit CSF from the ventricular space through the microvalves and micro needles in fluid communication with the fluid transmitting members to prevent an excessive pressure build up of CSF within the interior of the brain.
Intracranial Pressure Sensor
US Patent:
2011006, Mar 17, 2011
Filed:
Sep 11, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/558157
Inventors:
Arye Rosen - Cherry Hill NJ, US
Harel D. Rosen - Belle Mead NJ, US
Francis A. Kralick - Philadelphia PA, US
Harel D. Rosen - Belle Mead NJ, US
Francis A. Kralick - Philadelphia PA, US
Assignee:
DREXEL UNIVERSITY - Philadelphia PA
International Classification:
A61B 5/03, A61M 1/00
US Classification:
600561, 604 8
Abstract:
An intracranial pressure device for measuring CSF pressure in a skull includes a housing located between the scalp and the skull containing pressure device circuitry and a conduit extending downwardly from the housing to the vicinity of the CSF. A pressure sensor is coupled to the conduit and located in communication with the CSF wherein the pressure sensor directly senses the pressure of the CSF and provides a signal representative of the pressure of the CSF to the pressure device circuitry by way of the conduit. The skull has a dura and the conduit extends by way of an opening through the skull and an opening through the dura to position the sensor in direct contact with the CSF. A fluid reservoir can be in communication with the CSF by way of a tube and by way of the housing. The fluid reservoir contains CSF.
Implantable Micro-System For Treatment Of Hydrocephalus
US Patent:
7691077, Apr 6, 2010
Filed:
Jan 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/669665
Inventors:
Francis A. Kralick - Philadelphia PA, US
Hongseok Noh - Fort Washington PA, US
Hongseok Noh - Fort Washington PA, US
International Classification:
A61M 19/00
US Classification:
604 9, 604 8, 604264
Abstract:
An implantable system for the treatment of hydrocephalus includes a plurality of microneedles in a fixed array relative to each other adapted to extend from the subarachnoid space containing CSF surrounding the brain, through dura mater forming the wall of the superior sagital sinus. A microvalve is associated with a proximal end of each of the microneedles and is adapted to permit the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid space through the wall of the superior sagital sinus and deposited in the venous return of the brain. The method of treating hydrocephalus with the system of this invention also constitutes a part of the invention.
