Shunt drains fluid from brain to restore balanceDr. Paul DonohuePaul G. Donohue (STANDARD)
A shunt for draining cerebral spinal fluid from the brain is provided. In an embodiment, the shunt includes a master control unit that is located in the abdomen, which interconnects a ventricular catheter and a second catheter, typically located in the peritoneal cavity. In a specific embodiment...
A check valve is provided for preventing cerebrospinal fluid from flowing back from the second catheter to the first catheter. The shunt main body has a reservoir formed therein and communicated with the first catheter to store the cerebrospinal fluid therein. A dome-shaped flexible portion is ...
A fluid shunt system for the treatment of hydrocephalusA cerebrospinal fluid shunt system comprises a brain ventricle catheter (15) to insert into the brain ventricle (21) so as to drain cerebrospinal fluid from the brain ventricle, a sinus catheter (18) to insert into the sinus sagittalis ...

A ventricular shunt is a surgically implanted thin, plastic tube that drains extra fluid and relieves pressure on the brain. Children receive ventricular shunts for hydrocephalus, a condition where brain fluid doesn't drain or reabsorb properly from brain bleeds, tumors, or other causes. ...

A VP shunt is a long, plastic tube that allows fluid to drain from the brain toanother part of the body. This drainage prevents the increase in pressure onthe brain caused by hydrocephalus.A VP shunt has at least three parts. The first part is the ventricular catheter,which goes into ...
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts, which are used to treat hydrocephalus, shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lateral ventricles of the brain into the peritoneum. Tapping or aspirating the shunt is performed for both diagnostic reasons (eg, evaluate
1. A cerebrospinal fluid shunt system comprising a brain ventricle catheter device to insert into the brain ventricle so as to drain cerebrospinal fluid from the brain ventricle; a sinus catheter device to insert into the sinus sagittalis system for feeding the cerebrospinal fluid into the sinus ...
