Integra LifeSciences Announces Launch of a Monitor for TBI Patients
Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation announced the release of the Camino(R) Advanced Monitor (CAM), the latest addition to Integra's neuromonitoring product line. The monitor accurately measures Intracranial Pressure (ICP) and Intracranial Temperature (ICT) via fiberoptic technology. The system also displays Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP), based on input from the patient bedside monitor. Intracranial pressure monitoring is an essential component in the treatment of severe brain injury. The 2007 Guidelines for the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury, recently published by the Brain Trauma Foundation, contain specific recommendations with regard to monitoring intracranial pressure and brain tissue oxygen in severe Traumatic Brain Injury patients.
