Surgical method, device, system and kit for the treatment of hydrocephalus

A dural venous sinus (DVS) implant plug, comprising:

• a cylindrical body comprising at least one aperture, wherein the cylindrical body is dimensioned to interferingly fit within a burr hole drilled in a subject's skull, and wherein the at least one aperture is defined off-center through a height of the cylindrical body.

A dural venous sinus (DVS) outlet drain implant, comprising:

• a curved tube comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the proximal portion is insertable within an aperture of a DVS implant plug, and wherein the distal portion comprises an outlet tip.

A subarachnoid space (SAS) implant plug, comprising:

• a cylindrical body comprising an aperture, wherein the cylindrical body is dimensioned to interferingly fit within a burr hole drilled in a subject's skull, and wherein the aperture is defined centrally through a height of the cylindrical body.

An subarachnoid space (SAS) inlet drain implant, comprising:

• a tube comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the proximal portion is insertable within an aperture of a SAS implant plug, and wherein the distal portion comprises a plurality of inlet holes.

A subarachnoid space (SAS) drain insertion tool, comprising:

• a planar body comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the proximal portion is configured for insertion through a guide device and wherein the distal portion defines a curve configured for insertion through a burr hole.

A connector implant, comprising:

• a connector plug element, wherein the connector plug element includes external walls dimensioned to interferingly fit within a first burr hole defined in a subject's skull, a second burr hole defined in the subject's skull, and a connecting channel defined in the subject's skull between the first burr hole and the second burr hole, and wherein the external walls define an internal space corresponding to the first burr hole, the second burr hole, and the connecting channel;
• and
• a connector cap configured to couple to the connector plug element to cover the internal space.

A system, comprising a plurality of modular components, the plurality of modular components, when implanted and connected to form an assembly, drain CSF from a subarachnoid space to a dural venous sinus, without having any of the modular components penetrating the gray matter of the brain.

A system, comprising a plurality of modular components, the plurality of modular components, when implanted and connected to form an assembly, allow access for at least one of testing, servicing, delivering medications through, or extracting fluid from, the modular components, individually or in combination, without penetrating the gray matter of the brain.
