Gravitational add-on valve to prevent overdrainage symptoms
The SHUNTASSISTANT 2.0 Valve is one of the revolutionary products developed by MIETHKE. It is a streamlined gravitational valve designed for use in combination with an adjustable or non-adjustable differential pressure valve to add increased resistance to a shunt system as a patient changes position.
Features and Benefits:
- Unique gravitational technology provides increased resistance as patient moves upright, greatly reducing or eliminating overdrainage.
- Enables the surgeon to use different opening pressures for supine and standing positions, managing overdrainage complications and patient discomfort.
- Titanium housing allows the SHUNTASSISTANT 2.0 Valve to be made extremely small, but still have large flow paths to help reduce the risk of obstruction.
- Can be easily added to an existing shunt system, providing the benefits of gravitational technology.
- Six pressures give surgeons options to customize a shunt system to help manage the complex needs of patients.
- Two additional variants for lumbar CSF drainage.
