Monopressure hydrocephalus shunt valve Defit® Ultra Small

pediatric

All silicone based valves are designed and manufactured using polypropylene and silicone elastomer. The use of polypropylene and silicone elastomer is of great importance in terms of minimizing the risk of deformation of the valves as a result of sticking. In addition, all valves are designed to have a membrane valve mechanism and a reservoir structure that allows CSF sampling. The shunt valve is a mechanical device that regulates flow. Regulation of flow, is attained through the simple fluid dynamics which requires a pressure drop of fluid while flowing through the obstacles like orifices and change of flow cross sectional area placed intentionally on the flow passage. Defit Ultra Small shunts are used in infants and small children during treatment of hydrocephalus, where controlled drainage of CSF is required.
