Adult hydrocephalus shunt valve MIETHKE GAV® 2.0

MIETHKE GAV® 2.0 Gravitational valve for the treatment of hydrocephalus The GAV® 2.0 is the consequent further development of the proven GAV® and paediGAV® and like its predecessors a gravitational valve consisting of a differential pressure and gravitational unit. The combination of a differential pressure unit and gravitational unit ensures an automatic opening pressure adjustment as a function of the position of the patient's body and in that way counteracts complications due to excess drainage. Advantages - Gravitational technology: prevents over- and underdrainage complications and meets the physiological needs of the patients. - The slender cylindrical design allows for quick and easy implantation in adults and in the treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus. - Two additional variants for lumbar CSF drainage. Features - Length valve housing: 13.4 mm - Outer diameter: 4.2 mm - Material: Titanium Note Because the opening pressure of the valve depends on the position of the patient, GAV® 2.0 must be implanted parallel to the body axis. Depending on the height and other properties of the patient, 6 pressure setting are offered, which should be chosen accordingly (see brochure / pressure recommendation). Indication Treatment of Hydrocephalus
