Catheter placement with Solopass system
The Solopass US system will be used during catheter placement procedure to guide the placement of the catheter.
Catheter Placement with Solopass System
This device is used as a guidance for placing a brain catheter to target the brain ventricles and decrease multiple brain passes, incorrect deployment and malfunctioning of the drain.
