CSF-Flow Control valves are fixed pressure valves. They’re part of a shunt system used to treat the symptoms of hydrocephalus. A shunt redirects excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain to another part of the body, allowing the brain’s enlarged ventricles to return to a more normal size.
Key Features
Convenient Non-metallic design won’t be affected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Easy Check Ups Reservoir dome allows your doctor to sample cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and test shunt function.
Comfortable Contoured reservoir base mimics the curvature of the skull, providing a better fit.
Placement
The valve is placed behind the ear or near the top of the head. It’s attached to a ventricular catheter on one side, and a distal catheter on the other.
Size
The device is not shown actual size. Other sizes may be available.
