Kitea – First-in-human safety and efficacy trials

The Kitea  Sensor

A paper has been published in Nature Communications relating to the first-in-human safety and efficacy trial of the Kitea Sensor in adults and children with hydrocephalus authored by Simon Malpas et al.

The report delves into Long Term Brain Pressure Monitoring (the purpose of the Kitea Sensor) and has extremely detailed information regarding the monitor and the first in human safety trials. This is a very interesting and informative article and is well worth a read, even though, for most of us, our eyes will start glazing over by page three. For the scientists amongst you, grab a coffee and an armchair and read on. (link below)
