MIETHKE proGAV® 2.0 Adjustable valve with gravitational unit for the treatment of hydrocephalus MIETHKE gravitational valves provide a reliable solution in prevention of overdrainage complications [1, 2] associated with the management of hydrocephalus. proGAV® 2.0 represents the latest development by refining our existing proGAV® technology to better meet the needs of our customers and their patients. proGAV® 2.0 offers the reliability of our existing technology with a new tactile “Feedback” mechanism and “Soft-Touch” instrumentation. The adjustable unit is equipped with a special valve surface: By using slight pressure with your finger, the “Active-Lock” mechanism of the valve is released and a tactile feedback is received.
