Abstract

We designed a new device for performing successful ventricular taps through the frontal region, including Kocher's point. We assembled a socket from a socket-wrench and 2 alminium nut revets. These tools are popular, inexpensive and easily obtainable in do-it-yourself shops. This device helps in the insertion of the tap needle perpendicular to the skull surface, aiming at the Foramen of Monroe.
