Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for securing a medical device. An exemplary apparatus includes a body having an inner portion and an edge portion, the edge portion defining a terminal end of the body, the body defining at least one surface spanning the inner portion and the edge portion. The apparatus further includes at least one wing fixedly coupled to the edge portion of the body, the at least one wing defining at least one hole extending through the at least one wing. The apparatus still further includes at least one channel disposed on the at least one surface of the body, the at least one channel having a first terminal end at the edge portion of the body, wherein the at least one channel comprises at least one curve.

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for draining. The apparatus includes a body, the body having a first compartment adjacent to a second compartment, the first compartment having an inlet port fluidly connected to an outlet port, the inlet port defining a needle seat within the first compartment, a first rod hole for operation with a second rod hole in the second compartment, and a plurality of venting holes, the second compartment having a plurality of spaced notches along. The apparatus further includes a setting rod, the setting rod having a shaft and a sealing head, the shaft sized to be slideably maintained in the first rod hole and the second rod hole, the sealing head slideably attached to an end of the shaft and sized to obstruct fluid flow from the inlet port at the needle seat.

Method and apparatus for draining

A wearable EVD system having a ventricular catheter and transducer supported proximately to a patient's ear by a mount, such as supporting headband or ear clip. An adjustable orifice valve or a spring-loaded needle valve is used to control the amount of CSF that drains into a drip chamber suspended on the patient for periodic measurement and emptying into a similarly located drainage bag, thereby avoiding the need for an IV pole and allowing the patient more mobility without disrupting drainage of CSF.
