Miethke GAV -Model 2.0 -Preadjusted Valves
The GAV 2.0 is the consistent further development of the proven GAV and paediGAV and like its predecessors, it operates position-dependent and consists of a differential pressure and gravity unit. The GAV 2.0 must always be implanted parallel to the body axis for optimal function. It then automatically adapts its opening pressure to the different body positions of the patient and can thus meet the different requirements of a shunt system in lying and standing positions and, above all, counteract the risk of possible overdrainage in the upright body position.
One valve for children and adults
The slim cylindrical design of its predecessor has been further optimised and further reduced in the GAV 2.0 for a better flow pattern. Coupled with the modified pressure stage concept, the GAV 2.0 is suitable for the treatment of hydrocephalus in premature and newborn babies, children and adults.
- ONE valve for premature and newborn babies, children and adults
- three product variants: for ventriculo-peritoneal (GAV 2.0) and lumbo-peritoneal sections (GAV 2.0 LP, straight and GAV 2.0 LP, U-shaped)
- more protection against overdrainage complications due to position-dependent function
- uncomplicated pressure stage concept with 6 different fixed pressure stages to choose from
- simple pressure level coding for clear pressure level detection in imaging
- MRT compatible up to 3 Tesla
- slim, cylindrical and small design for a better flow
- precise precision engineering
-
robust and durable due to the use of titanium
