MIETHKE miniNAV® Our smallest hydrocephalus shunt The MIETHKE miniNAV® was developed as a compact differential pressure valve which, due to its small design, is particularly suitable for the treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus, especially in premature and newborn infants.[1] Another area of application is hydrocephalus in bedridden patients. The valve is made of titanium, a material that allows excellent precision, stability and biocompatibility. Advantages - Very small, slim, cylindrical design for easy implantation ​ - MRI compatible upto 3 Tesla​ - Smallest differential pressure valve [1] Note The MIETHKE miniNAV® is available as a single product or as a shunt system with different components.
