MIETHKE SHUNTASSISTANT® 2.0

The SHUNTASSISTANT® 2.0 is the further development of the proven SHUNTASSISTANT®.
The SHUNTASSISTANT® 2.0 is an efficient add-on valve for the treatment of overdrainage complications. As overdrainage protection, it can be combined with differential pressure valves (even adjustable), either as initially solution or as a secondary add-on device for patients with existing complications.

The SHUNTASSISTANT® 2.0 combines ease-of-use with 25 years proven gravitational technology. The slim, cylindric design enables a fast and easy implantation and is suitable either for adults as well as pediatric hydrocephalus treatment. Depending on the body position of the patient the SHUNTASSISTANT® 2.0 gradually adapts the opening pressure automatically and counteracts possible overdrainage.

Advantages

  • Gravitational technology: prevents over- and underdrainage complications and meets the physiological needs of the patients.
  • Simple implantation: small design due to titanium construction.
  • Suitable for revisions: can be combined with differential pressure valves (even adjustable).

Indication

Treatment of Hydrocephalus
