Monopressure hydrocephalus shunt valve D-DCA-H-VACK

MR or CT Scans Compatible All the silicone based valves are designed and manufactured using polypropylene and silicone elastomer which decreases the possibility of deformation of the valves due to sticking. None of the valves contain any metal parts which gives them the uniqueness of non-interference with MRI or CT scans. The radiopaque barium marks on the valves indicate pressure, flow direction and valve-to-catheter approximation. Furthermore, all the valves are built in with a membrane valve mechanism and incorporated with reservoirs for percutaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) access. Antibiotic Realise Duration: 28 Days Valves have high technology version that contains antibiotics in the silicone body of the valves. Antibiotic impregnation of the silicone body is one of a kind quality that none of the other valves in the market has. Controlled release of the impregnated antibiotics from the silicone body for a duration of 28 days is also the optimum method for prevention of infection which is one of the main problems of shunt surgery. SILICONE SHUNT SYSTEMS ARE MANUFACTURED AND SUPPLIED IN THREE PRESSURE CATEGORIES: LOW PRESSURE, MEDIUM PRESSURE, HIGH PRESSURE. Decurve Pediatric Shunts ( Standard Valve Body / Antibiotic Impregnated Valve Body ) Decurve Pediatric shunts are used in infants and small children during treatment of hydrocephalus where controlled drainage of CSF is required. Decurve Adult Shunts ( Standard Valve Body / Antibiotic Impregnated Valve Body ) Decurve Adult shunts are used in adults during treatment of hydrocephalus where controlled drainage of CSF is required.
