The invention relates to
medicine. The inventive device for measuring
intracranial pressure in newborns and babies comprises a body, a supporting member with a leveling surface on the end face thereof, a movable bush which is provided with the supporting member coaxially attached thereto and which bush is arranged in the body so as to be capable of carrying out a limited
reciprocating motion to produce a static load on the bregmatic fontanel, a rod with a flat base which is accommodated in the movable bush cavity so as to be capable of moving with respect to the supporting member and producing an
impact action for deforming the bregmatic fontanel, a rod moving
system provided with a measuring coil which is connected to a control,
processing and display unit for converting a
signal received from the measuring coil in order to determine the
intracranial pressure and display the obtained results. The supporting member is designed in the form of a bush with a leveling surface on the end face and is provided on the outer side with a
limiter of the deformation produced by the static load on the bregmatic fontanel, the leveling surface of the supporting member is projected beyond the contact surface of the
limiter, wherein said contact surface is inclined to a plane which is tangent to the leveling surface in such a way that a distance between the contact surface and the tangent plane increases in the direction towards the periphery of the
limiter of the deformation produced by the static load on the bregmatic fontanel.
