  • Publication number: 20210330359
    Abstract: A burr hole cover is provided that is constructed to be positioned within a recessed region formed on a patient's skull in order to conceal a burr hole. The burr hole cover may be affixed to the patient's skull in the recessed region. For instance, surgical fastening devices may be inserted through apertures defined in the burr hole cover. The burr hole cover may have a thickness and curvature that enables it to be substantially flush with the surface of the skull when affixed in the recessed region. The burr hole cover's curvature follows the contour of the patient's skull. The burr hole cover may include one or more perforations sized to allow air (or moisture) to flow towards the burr hole, which promotes skin/bone growth. Some of the perforations may be large enough to permit access to the brain with leads and/or drainage devices.
