Vp Shunt Low Pressure

A VP Shunt Low Pressure is a neurosurgical device designed to treat Hydrocephalus, a condition caused by excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. This shunt system diverts fluid from the brain’s ventricles to the peritoneal cavity, helping to relieve pressure and prevent complications.

The low-pressure valve allows CSF to drain at a lower threshold, making it suitable for patients who require more continuous or easier fluid drainage.

 Key Features

•  Low-pressure valve for enhanced CSF drainage
•  Promotes continuous fluid flow at lower pressure levels
•  Medical-grade, biocompatible materials
•  Anti-reflux mechanism to prevent backflow
•  Flexible, kink-resistant catheter tubing
•  Sterile and ready for surgical use

 Components

A standard VP Shunt system includes:

• Ventricular catheter
• Low-pressure valve
• Distal (peritoneal) catheter
• Connectors and accessories

 Applications

• Treatment of Hydrocephalus (pediatric & adult)
• Management of increased intracranial pressure
• Neurosurgical procedures requiring higher CSF drainage
