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.
