15 Jul How EVD Drill Technology Is Improving Safety in Cranial Access Procedures
External ventricular drain placement is one of the most commonly performed procedures in emergency neurosurgery. It's also one where the margin for error is extremely small — and where improving precision directly translates to better patient outcomes.
The drilling step of EVD placement, seemingly straightforward, carries real risk. Advances in EVD drill technology are changing how that risk is managed, and the results are beginning to show in both clinical literature and practice. The broader shift toward purpose-built clinical devices is part of a wider movement in healthcare technology explored in this overview of healthcare technology priorities for clinical companies in 2026.
