Miethke paediGAV - Pediatric Valve

The paediGAV is manufactured from a solid and stable titanium housing. The proximal side consists of a Differential pressure unit. A spiral spring controls the valve opening pressure. The functioning of the gravitational unit on the distal valve side is ensured by a tantalum and a sapphire ball. The slim and cylindrical design makes implantation comparatively easy.

Due to the integrated gravitational technology it is important to implant the valve parallel to the body axis.

• a gravitational valve for the treatment of hydrocephalus in children
• more protection against overdrainage complications due to position-dependent function
• MRT compatible up to 3 Tesla
• very small, slim and cylindrical design for easy implantation in the retroauricular region and maximum flow volume
• precise precision engineering robust and durable due to the use of titanium
