Burr hole cover including external serrations
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a burr hole cover (e.g., burr hole cover) and method of manufacturing such apparatus. The burr hole cover disclosed herein may be multi-functional in that it may be used to: (a) form a burr hole which provides access to the brain, and (b) facilitate concealing the burr hole without employing any fastening devices (e.g., surgical screws, wires, etc.). In embodiments, the burr hole cover may include a sleeve having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a hollowed portion. In embodiments, the outer surface of the sleeve may define external serrations. The sleeve may be configured to create a burr hole in a skull, and the external serrations may be configured to secure the sleeve within the burr hole. The burr hole cover may also include a plate configured to fit with the sleeve and conceal the burr hole.
