Additional Information for Shunt Catheterization Valve
Shunt Catheterization Valve is a medical device that falls under the supply class of Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies in the supply group of Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
A shunt catheterization valve is a valve system used in the treatment of hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. It is a common neurosurgical procedure where a shunt system is implanted to divert excess CSF from the brain to another part of the body, such as the abdomen, where it can be absorbed.
The shunt catheterization valve is a crucial component of the shunt system. It is responsible for regulating the flow of CSF and maintaining the appropriate pressure within the brain. The valve is designed to open when the pressure inside the brain exceeds a certain threshold, allowing the excess fluid to drain out. Conversely, it closes when the pressure decreases to prevent over-drainage.
The shunt catheterization valve is typically made of biocompatible materials such as silicone or polyurethane to minimize the risk of infection or rejection by the body. It is available in various types, including adjustable and programmable valves that allow healthcare professionals to customize the flow rate and pressure settings according to the patient's needs.
Overall, the shunt catheterization valve plays a crucial role in the management of hydrocephalus, helping to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications associated with the condition.
