Adjustable Pressure –Programmable Shunt

• Strata® adjustable pressure valves are part of a shunt system used to treat the symptoms of hydrocephalus.
• A shunt redirects excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain to another part of the body, allowing the brain’s enlarged ventricles to return to a more normal size.

Key Features

• Noninvasive Adjustment Noninvasive pressure setting adjustment may reduce the need for revision surgeries.
• Overdrainage Protection Optional Delta Chamber allows pressure in the brain to be maintained within a certain range, regardless of body position.
• Easy Checkups Reservoir dome allows your doctor to sample cerebrospinal fluid and test shunt function.
• Comfortable Contoured reservoir base mimics the curvature of the skull, providing a better fit.
• No X-ray Verification Easy-to-use hand tools allow for verification of pressure setting without the need of an x-ray.

Fixed Pressure Valve – Shunt

CSF-Flow Control valves are fixed pressure valves. They’re part of a shunt system used to treat the symptoms of hydrocephalus. A shunt redirects excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain to another part of the body, allowing the brain’s enlarged ventricles to return to a more normal size.

Key Features

• Convenient Nonmetallic design won’t be affected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• Easy Checkups Reservoir dome allows your doctor to sample cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and test shunt function.
• Comfortable Contoured reservoir base mimics the curvature of the skull, providing a better fit.

Placement

• The valve is placed behind the ear or near the top of the head. It’s attached to a ventricular catheter on one side, and a distal catheter on the other.

Size

• The device is not shown actual size. Other sizes may be available.
