The Equi-FlowT valve is an advanced valve system designed to maintain physiological CSF pressure independent of patient orientation. By incorporating the Siphon Limiting Device (SLD), this patented valve design limits reduction of IVP caused by siphoning in the distal catheter. The Equi-Flow valve has an injectable central reservoir, as well as promixal and distal occluders, all with nonmetallic components. The Equi-flow valve is available in two sizes and four pressure designations to accommodate the requirements of different patients.
Available in regular and small valve size, with an included 90 cm barium-impregnated peritoneal open-ended catheter, and separate 15cm ventricular catheter with stylet and right angle adapter.
Indications:
Integra NeuroSciences valve systems are implantable devices which serve as a parallel flow pathway to divert cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the cerebral ventricles to an appropriate drainage site. They provide controlled intraventricular pressure and CSF drainage in patients with hydrocephalus or other conditions in which CSF flow and/or absorption is impaired. The very low pressure valve (blue band) is used for postoperative drainage of hygromas and other extraventricular conditions.
