Intracerebral sensor catheter, short-term

Intracerebral sensor catheters (short-term) are flexible tubes inserted surgically into the brain to monitor key intracranial parameters like pressure, oxygen levels, or temperature. They may also enable cerebrospinal fluid drainage or localized delivery of treatments such as chemotherapy or radioisotopes, often used in critical care or neurosurgical settings.

These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical implants or monitoring tools, with requirements varying by jurisdiction. Accessories like stylets, stabilization hardware, or drainage ports may be included but are considered part of the overall system.
