  • Product Description
    Integra Camino Intracranial Pressure Monitoring Catheter with Licox IMC Bolt Fitting, Catalog No. 110-4L || The Camino Intracranial Pressure Monitoring Catheter is a sterile transducer-tipped pressure monitoring catheter with accessory items to be used as a diagnostic tool for rapidly determining and continuously monitoring intracranial pressure. The Camino catheter has a miniature transducer at the distal tip. This design eliminates the need for a fluid-filled system to carry pressure waves to an external transducer and thus, the problems inherent in such fluid-filled systems are eliminated. The Camino catheter is packaged with a zero adjustment tool which allows for the adjustment of the transducer during catheter preparation, and the LICOX Bolt Adapter Fitting. The Camino Intracranial Pressure Monitoring Catheter with Licox IMC Bolt fitting, Model 110-4L is indicated for use by a qualified Neurosurgeon when direct measurement of intracranial pressure in the parenchyma is clinically important. It is intended to be used only through a Licox Brain Oxygen Monitoring System Bolt.
