Guide for placement of catheter into brain and a method of utilizing the same

Abstract

The subject matter discloses an apparatus for detecting an environment within a body comprising: an apparatus comprising a stylet and a catheter capable of being inserted into the body; a bio-sensing module for detecting a predefined material within the body, upon insertion of the stylet and catheter with close proximity to the predefined material

1 . An apparatus for detecting an environment within a body comprising:
 an apparatus comprising a stylet and a catheter capable of being inserted into the body;   a bio-sensing module for detecting a predefined material within the body, upon insertion of the stylet and catheter with close proximity to the predefined material.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the bio-sensing module further indicates the presence of the predefined material. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the indication is provided using electrical connecting element. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the predefined material is beta-transferrin. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein at least a portion of the bio-sensing module is located within the stylet. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the bio-sensing module comprises a biosensor, transmitter and an indication unit. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the bio-sensing module is located in a cavity within the stylet. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the stylet further comprises one or more apertures for allowing fluid containing the predefined material to enter the stylet cavity. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the predefined material contacts and activates the bio-sensing module. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein at least a portion of the biosensor is located outside surface of the stylet. 
     
     
         11 . A method of inserting a catheter or trocar into a body comprising:
 a. inserting an apparatus comprising a stylet and catheter into the body;   b. detecting a predefined material by a biosensor connected to the apparatus upon close proximity of the apparatus to the predefined material.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claims 11 , further comprises a step of transmitting data related to the detection of the predefined material. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claims 11 , further comprises a step of activating the biosensor by contact between the biosensor and the predefined material. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claims 11 , wherein forcing the biosensor to send electrical current through electrical connecting means to an indicator unit.
