    DRAINAGE OR FILAMENT FIXING AND PROTECTION DEVICE
    INTRACRANIALS
    D E S C R I P C I ON

    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention is part of the technical field of medical sciences. A device for fixing and protecting brain devices that communicate with the outside is proposed. More specifically, the device is initially configured to be used in external ventricular drains or intracranial filaments.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    fifteen
    External ventricular drainage (DVE) is a type of intracranial catheter that connects the cerebral ventricles with the outside in order to allow the outflow of cerebrospinal fluid in the event that it accumulates excessively due to an obstruction of its natural path.
    twenty
    Ventriculitis associated with DVE is one of the most important complications associated with the use of these devices, with an incidence that varies between 5% and 20% according to series and high morbidity and mortality. The formation of a bacterial biofilm on DVE seems to be the most important pathogenetic mechanism in the development of ventriculitis.
    Another problem associated with the use of DVE, related to bacterial colonization and infections, is the difficulty in maintaining DVE fixation and proper insertion point hygiene. The production of fat through the scalp and the growth of hair previously shaved for intervention make it difficult to maintain a certain degree of asepsis of the DVE entry point. In addition, the necessary fixation of the DVE to the scalp further hinders the correct hygiene and the repetition of shaving (under penalty of damaging the catheter).

    Although there is less scientific evidence in this regard, the problems posed for DVE are superimposable in the case of intracranial filaments communicated abroad whose function would reside in the detection of information on brain pressure, tissue oxygen concentration (or other biochemical parameters) or the electrical activity of the brain.
    There are commercialized DVEs impregnated in silver, antibiotics or antiseptics that have proven useful in preventing biofilm formation. However, its effect is transitory, evidence of its climatic efficacy is scarce and its economic cost makes it difficult to use them widely.
    With respect to the subject there is no commercialized device adaptable to the DVEs. It is known, for example, a device that allows the attachment, by means of adhesive, of a horizontal intravenous catheter, avoiding the need for suturing. Also known is US5263930 which describes an implantable device that allows access to a catheter, optical fiber or needle. This device comprises a rechargeable chamber that allows the introduction of an antibacterial fluid. The most important technical problem associated with this device is that it is not implemented for the DVE. Devices that are implanted under the skin in the area of the thoracic cage or under the skin of the arm and which are configured to allow the administration of medication in the bloodstream are also described in the state of the art.
    On the other hand, US2005085778 describes an implantable device of plastic, titanium or stainless steel with one or two chambers that are used for parenteral feeding or administration of chemotherapy or other medications in the bloodstream. Also known is a device for introducing certain medication via cerebrospinal fluid through a needle in those patients who have permanent ventriculo-peritoneal shunt.
    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention proposes a device for fixing and protecting external ventricular drains or intracranial filaments that solves the problems that
    currently arise when working with this type of elements. Also light
    3
    Modifications in the size of the device will allow its application to other devices such as brain electrical sensors.
    The device is configured to be fixed on the scalp which ensures the position of the external ventricular drainage and prevents its extrusion. In addition, said drain is housed inside the device so the device also ensures that the drain is isolated from the scalp. This helps to reduce the risk of infections.
    10 Likewise, the device can be shaped or coated with a material with bactericidal treatment to prevent bacterial nesting and the development of a bacterial biofilm preventing the occurrence of ventriculitis episodes.
    The device comprises a base piece, which is intended to be partially
    15 housed under the user's scalp and through the perforation that is performed on the scalp for drainage placement. Said base piece receives inside the catheter to isolate it from the scalp. As the catheter passes through the interior of the base piece, it does not come into contact with the scalp.
    20 Also, the device comprises a closure piece, which is complementary to the base piece, and which is intended to be attached to it. The base piece is partially housed in the closure piece, which partially presses it to deform it and ensure that it closes around the catheter. This ensures the relative position between the catheter and the device.
    25
    In addition, said closure piece is configured to join the scalp, for example by means of sutures, thus ensuring the position of the entire device on the user's scalp.
    That is, the device of the present invention comprises two pieces that are a base piece, which is implantable, and a closure piece, which is an outer piece that is placed on the base piece, attached thereto. A great advantage that it provides with respect to other devices known in the state of the art is that it has a design that prevents infections and at the same time ensures the catheter support.
    To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, in accordance with a preferred example of practical realization thereof, a set of said description is attached as an integral part of said description.

    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    An example of realization of the present invention is described below with the aid of Figures 1 to 4.
    5 Figure 1 shows the fixation and protection device for intracranial drains or filaments in a perspective view. In this figure the device is observed in its working position, attached to the scalp (3) of the user by means of suture threads (16).
    10 Figure 2 shows the device in a sectioned view in which the complete external ventricular drainage has been represented. The figure shows the ventricular insertion (4) and subcutaneous tunneling (5) of the external ventricular drainage. The device for fixing and protecting drainage or intracranial filaments is anchored to the scalp and houses the catheter (2) inside the drain. More specifically, the device is placed in a perforation (1) that is performed on the scalp (3) of the user through which the catheter (2) passes.
    Throughout the description, when referring to the catheter (2) it should also be understood as a filament (2) in case the device is used as a fixative and protector of an intracranial filament and not as a fixative and protector of a drain .
    The device comprises a base piece (6) and a closure piece (7) that are complementary. Figure 3 shows these pieces (6, 7). The base piece (6) is, in working position, partially housed under the scalp (3) of the user. For this, the base piece (6) is partially passed through the hole (1) and is housed therein.
    The base piece (6) comprises a conical cylinder body (8) that passes through the perforation (1) carried out in the scalp (3) and which is intended to receive the 30 catheter (2) inside. It also comprises at least one wing (10), which extends from one end of the cylinder-conical body (8), and which is intended to be arranged under the scalp (3) of the user.
    The closure piece (7) comprises a cylindrical body (12) with a through hole
    intended to receive inside the cylinder-conical body (8). It also comprises at least two fins (17), which extend from one end of the cylindrical body (12), and which are intended to be arranged on the user's scalp.
    5 Said closure piece (7) is configured to be placed on the base piece (6), pressing it slightly inwardly so that the retention of the catheter (2) inside the base piece (6) is ensured. Likewise, the closure piece (7) is configured to be able to join the user's scalp (3), ensuring the position of the device.
    10
    Figures 4a to 4d show the steps that are followed for placing the device on the scalp (3) of a user. Figure 4a shows the catheter (2) and the base piece (6) that is being placed in the direction shown by the date. The catheter (2) is passed through the cylinder-conical body (8). Likewise, it is noted that the base wing (10) is the part of the base piece (6) that first comes into contact with the user's scalp (3).
    In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention such as that shown in the figures, the base wing (10) is a perimeter wing at the end of the conical cylinder body 20 (8). In this exemplary embodiment said wing of the perimeter base (10) comprises the
    minus one notch (11). Said notch (11) is configured to allow the introduction of the base wing (10) through the perforation (1) until it is under the scalp (3).
    25 Figure 4b shows how the base piece (6) is partially inserted through the hole (1). As seen in said figure, the notch (11) allows the base wing (10) to be introduced by rotating the base piece (6) on itself, for example in the direction represented by the arrow (this movement could also be done in the opposite direction). In this example, the notch (11) is a groove 30 made in the perimeter of the base wing (10) and comprises rounded tips to facilitate the process of introducing said base wing (10) subcutaneously. At the end of this stage the base piece (6) must be positioned vertically, with the catheter (2) perpendicular to the surface of the user's scalp (3).
    In other possible embodiments, the base piece (6) could have one or more wings (10), having these different configurations. The key to the base wings (10) is that they extend from one end of the conical cylinder body (8) in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said conical cylinder body.
    5 This allows, once introduced through the perforation (1), and already housed under the user's scalp (3), it does not leave unintentionally. That is, it contributes to the fixation of the position of the device on the scalp (3) and therefore in the fixation of the position of the catheter (2).
    10 Figure 4c shows a stage of the placement of the device in which the base part (6) is already arranged in its working position and the closing part (7) is placed, which is placed on said part base (6).
    In the example shown in this figure, the conical cylinder body (8) 15 comprises flat faces (9) disposed outside. These flat faces (9) facilitate the placement of the device since they allow the support of instruments (15) to keep the base piece (6) fixed and prevent it from rotating during the placement of the closing piece (7).
    20 The instruments (15) to be used are preferably an anti-torsion wrench that, placed on the flat faces (9), prevents it from turning while closing with the closing part (7) and allows a good tightening .
    Finally, Figure 4d shows the final stage in which the closure piece 25 (7) is adjusted in the base piece (6). In this case the cylinder-conical body (8) comprises a
    external threading and the cylindrical body (12) comprises an internal threading in correspondence with the external threading of the cylinder-conical body (8). In the figure an arrow is shown indicating in this case the thread direction for the complete assembly of the device. As can be seen, it is advisable to use the instruments 30 (15) during the operation of placing the device for this stage of assembly.
    Preferably, the closure piece (7) comprises on the outside of the cylindrical body (12) ribs or lateral projections (13) arranged in a longitudinal direction. These ribs (13) also collaborate in the correct positioning of the closure piece (7) with respect to
    the base piece (6) since they allow to increase the friction resistance of the outer surface of the closure piece (7) and therefore exert a greater turning force on said exterior of the closing piece (7).
    5 Additionally, the closure fins (17) comprise a hole (14) configured to receive a suture thread (16) joining the scalp (3). This allows the complete fixation of the device to the scalp (3) as shown in Figure 1. The points given with the suture thread (16) provide a more secure fixation of the device to the user because in case of involuntary and given pulling that the catheter (2) is blocked by the base piece (6), prevents the entire device from exiting through the perforation (1) and all the external vascular drainage can leave its insertion point (the perforation (1 )).
    Preferably, as can be seen in the figures, the cylinder-conical body (8) 15 comprises at least one groove (18) in the longitudinal direction. More specifically, in the example of the figures, there are two slots (18). Said grooves (18) allow partial deformation of the cylinder-conical body (8) when it is introduced inside the cylindrical body (12). When partially deformed, the end of the cylindrical body (8) is trapped by the closure piece (7), thus exerting a more congruent contact between the base piece (6) and the catheter (2) so that the fixing is safer, thus preventing the catheter (2) from sliding inside the base piece (6) in case of an accidental tiron.
    Likewise, and as previously described, the device may comprise in its composition at least one bactericidal or bacteriostatic compound. Also, the device may comprise a coating with at least one bactericidal or bacteriostatic compound.
    The bactericidal or bacteriostatic compound that can be presented as a coating on the device to be treated or as an additive embedded in the polymer matrix itself as part of the composition of the device material is selected, in an example of realization, from the following: agents metal biocides (selected from silver or zinc nanoparticles or a combination of both at different concentrations), poly-4-vinyl-N-pyridinium-hexyl bromide, silver, zinc, copper or al
    less a peptide. Other antibiotic agents such as, for example, rifampin, clindamycin or minocycline could also be used.
