An intracerebral cannula, implantable, is a sterile, flexible tube surgically inserted into precise brain regions—such as the basal ganglia—to guide deep brain stimulation leads or electrodes. It serves as a conduit for repeated electrode placement or removal during stereotactic procedures, often used in treating movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease.
These devices are typically regulated as implantable medical devices, requiring compliance with surgical-grade materials (e.g., synthetic polymers) and sterile manufacturing standards. They are supplied as single-use or reusable components, depending on design, and may include accessories like stylets for insertion.
