FLAT BOTTOM SHUNT
- Body in silicone
- “Ball in Cone” mechanism made of ruby
- Compatible with CT and MRI
The pressure control system is composed of ruby ball and conic seat and stainless steel spring. The perfect match between ball and seat can safely set the pressures of opening and closing of the system, providing precise control of intracranial pressure.
Adult, Infantile and Neonatal Plus sizes have a dual pressure control encased in the input and output occluders. The Neonatal model encases a single mechanism for pressure control.
All sizes are supplied in four pressure ranges: high, medium, low and extra low, to meet the individual requirements of patients. The indications of flow and pressure printed on the valve body are radiopaque and allow visualization imaging after implantation.
Its function is to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid (brain fluid) into the abdominal cavity so that it can be absorbed by the body.
