Product Description
A shunt drains excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to another part of the body, such as the abdomen, where it can be more easily absorbed. The most common treatment for hydrocephalus is the surgical insertion of a drainage system, called a shunt.
Hydrocephalus shunting involves the implantation of two catheters and flow control valve system to drain the excess accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain ventricles (or the lumbar subarachnoid space) to another part of the body where it can be absorbed.
