BurRapid Epidural Drainage Attachment for Traumatic Brain Injury
Epidural bleeding from traumatic brain injury (TBI) is immediately life-threatening and can quickly lead to brain herniation and death unless there is immediate neurosurgical intervention. BurRapid™, developed by Critical Innovations, is a medical device that provides hematoma drainage and intracranial pressure monitoring to sustain TBI patients on the battlefield. This allows for provision of these life-saving interventions earlier in the roles of care, including at the point-of-injury.
