Intracranial Pressure Sensor

An intracranial pressure (ICP) sensor is a medical device that measures the pressure inside the skull, specifically within the brain and cerebrospinal fluid. This pressure can increase due to injury, swelling, bleeding, or other conditions, potentially damaging brain tissue. The sensor provides real-time data to healthcare providers, helping them diagnose issues and make informed decisions about treatment. Typically inserted through a small hole in the skull, the sensor monitors pressure levels accurately, enabling prompt intervention to prevent complications and protect brain health.
