Intracranial Pressure (ICP) monitoring devices are
used to measure the pressure within the cranium and brain caused by
trauma or other diseases. The normal ICP is 0-10 mm Hg and anything
greater than 20 mm Hg is fatal. ICP monitoring is of significant
diagnostic and post-operative importance in patients with cranial injury
caused as seen in cases of trauma, stroke, hydrocephalus, or as a
result of neurosurgery. According to an estimate, more than 1.75 million
traumatic brain injuries occur in the North America annually and ICP
monitoring devices helps surgeons to save lives of these patients with
timely intervention and treatment.
The
global market for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring devices is
segmented according to the route of intervention for measuring the
pressure into intraventricular, subdural and parenchymal pressure
monitor. The market is also segmented on the basis of product types such
into: intraventricular catheter, subarachnoid screw, fiber-optic
monitors, epidural sensors and non-invasive ICP monitors. There are two
basic types of ICP monitors – one type provides only ICP data while the
other type of ICP monitors are capable of concurrent drainage of
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Geographically, the global ICP monitoring
devices market can be segmented into four major regions, namely, North
America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World.

The
advanced ICP monitoring devices are eliminating limitations of earlier
devices such as spontaneous shift in baseline pressure, and leveling and
de-bubbling associated with fluid-filled systems. These kind of
advanced monitors help the surgeons to closely monitor the patient and
provide efficient treatment. Most of the ICP monitors used today are of
invasive-type and therefore have serious limitations in its usage as
diagnostics in a healthy person. The non-invasive ICP monitoring methods
used today do not measure absolute ICP. Hence the development and
validation of non-invasive intracranial pressure (nICP) monitor capable
of measuring absolute ICP device would be a great opportunity for the
ICP monitor market.
Some
of the major players in global intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring
devices market include Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, Orsan
Medical Technologies, Gaeltec Devices Ltd., Sophysa Ltd. Codman &
Shurtleff, Inc. and Raumedic AG
