The paediGAV is the first pediatric valve for the treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus that works in a position-dependent manner and thus offers more protection against overdrainage complications. ...
ONE valve for the unique requirements of a life with hydrocephalus: mobility, growth, changes in the course of disease. unique uncompromising pressure adaption to optimize individual patient needs. smallest adjustable gravitational valve worldwide. 2-in-1 technology: adjustable gravitational unit combined with fixed differential pressure unit in one valve. protected against over-drainage through ...
Hydrocephalus and subarachnoid hemorrhages may be associated with a life-threatening increase in intracranial pressure (ICP). Determining the ICP is an important requirement for proper application of ICP-lowering measures.10 To date, there is no way to adequately determine intracranial pressures based on symptoms or imaging methods alone. In addition to measurement for initial diagnosis, it may ...
Indications include: severe trauma, subarach-noid hematoma, shunt infections, normal pressure hydrocephalus, post-surgery treatment. The number of external CSF drainages is roughly estimated to be 30–40,000 p.a. in Germany, 130–140,000 p.a. in the USA, with an annual growth rate of about 6 %.Pressure transducersThe complete sensor and alarm chain is build redundantly to ensure an ...
