Universal Shunt & Shunt Kits

  • Cost effective design…all-inclusive kit for one low cost.
  • Designed & packaged with attached ventricular & peritoneal catheter,    optional catheter passer & sheaths.
  • Progressive resistance valve mechanism… ensures patient safety by    automatically increasing valve operating pressure as CFS flow    increases.
  • Multi pressure choices…available in four pressures…Very low, low    medium and high.
  • Kink free Tubing…helps prevent distal blockade.
  • Completely enclosed shunt design…prevents valve failure due to tissue    encapsulation.
  • Non-metallic design…eliminates image artifacts, En46001 & USFDA standards.
  • Clear-stripped tubing…allows visualization of CSF flow.
  • Low profile design prevents tissue erosion, suitable for Pediatric and neonate use.
  • Pre-attached ventricular catheter…reduces surgical time in suturing and possibility of ventricular catheter    disconnect.
  • Encapsulated barium stripe…reduces potential for tissue reaction while allowing for x-ray visualization.
  • Winged suture tabs…allows for suturing of valve to prevent migration.
  • Radiopaque pressure reference…provides easy x-ray identification of nominal pressure.
  • Fluid calibration…more closely replicates in vivo post-implant conditions.
  • Disposable stainless steel passers with removable sheaths facilitate catheter placement.
