Miethke proGAV -Model 2.0 -Adjustable Valves
More protection against over-drainage complications due to position-dependent function and infinitely variable pressure setting from 0-20 cmH2O. MRI compatible up to 3 Tesla: no X-ray control after MRI necessary, no additional radiation exposure for the patient. "Active-Lock" mechanism: protected against unintentional adjustment by means of exposure to magnets found in daily life, such as those used in smartphones, toys, induction cookers or safety barriers at the airport. "Soft Touch" instruments with enhanced magnetic force: intuitive, safe and comfortable adjustment. Precise precision mechanics. Robust and durable due to the use of titanium. Improvement of the X-ray recognition in the Scout View.
With the new development of the proGAV2.0, we have adapted our proven proGAV even better to the needs of patients. This generation offers user-friendly adjustability thanks to the "Feedback" mechanism and the "Soft Touch" adjustment and control instruments.
It is a position-dependent shunt system that offers reliable protection against overdrainage complications.
The proGAV 2.0 is a position-dependent hydrocephalus valve. It consists of an adjustable differential pressure unit and a gravitational unit, such as the SA 2.0 (see Fig.). This means that it can be optimally adapted to the different pressure conditions in the lying and standing position, thus enabling the patient to achieve the best possible pressure conditions in every position.
