Indications include subarachnoidal haemorrhage (SAH), traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acute hydrocephalus. Silverline® ventricular drainage catheters are made of radiopaque polyurethane. The round tip is closed and the catheter has depth markings. The special silver additive reduces the possibility of microbial colonisation of the product surface.
