The idea for a ventriculostomy system that meets the highest standards of safety, stability and standardization - the Duisburg Needle - emerged from practical experience back in 1994. Developed by users for users, the goal was clear from the beginning: a quick-to-use, robust system for emergencies that also minimizes the risk of infection.
The needle, made from high-quality titanium, was already convincing in early studies with a significant reduction in infections.
Today, it has become an indispensable part of everyday neurosurgery: The system has proven itself in thousands of procedures in renowned German clinics - especially in acute hydrocephalus, intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages and posterior fossa tumors with occlusive hydrocephalus.
The procedures are usually performed directly at the patient's bedside in the intensive care unit - quickly, safely and routinely by trained neurosurgeons.
As a manufacturer of high-precision surgical instruments, WILDmedical GmbH stands for quality "Made in Germany". The complete set of the Duisburg Needle is manufactured 100% in Germany and meets the highest quality and safety standards. It is certified as a class III product according to MDR.
The system includes
– a titanium needle with skull screw,
– two stylets made of medical steel
– and a special screwdriver for secure fixation.
This combination not only ensures maximum stability and easy handling, but also significantly reduces the risk of infection - a decisive advantage when performing a ventriculostomy.
As an innovation-driven company, we are in continuous dialog with users and leading clinics. This enables us to further develop our products with a practical focus - always with the aim of making the application even safer and more efficient. For the treating physicians above all, for the patients.
– Fast pre-puncture within a few minutes
– Low infection rate thanks to metallic materials (titanium alloy or steel)
– Rigid fixation, good stability on the skull
– Can be used in the same place for up to 30 days
– No Cushing cannula necessary
– Quick and easy needle exchange
The titanium skull screw with self-tapping thread is screwed into the skull using a special screwdriver. The self-tapping thread guarantees a stable fixation of the screw.
The needle has a diameter of only 0.8 mm and has a Luer lock connection as well as 4 markings at 1 cm intervals. Drainage takes place via 30 openings with a diameter of 0.55 mm in a range of 18 mm from the tip of the needle
A stylet with a sharp tip and a stylet with a blunt tip allow safe application adapted to the anatomical conditions
