Unique self adjusting gravitational valve for the treatment of adult hydrocephalus
Description
The MIETHKE GAV® is a unique gravitational valve for the treatment of adult hydrocephalus. It automatically varies its opening pressure as soon as this becomes necessary due to alterations in the patient’s body position. Thus it effectively prevents symptoms of overdrainage. Thanks to the physiological drainage and its variable concept, the MIETHKE GAV® is well suited for the treatment of NPH patients, as well as for extreme forms of hydrocephalus in adults.
The MIETHKE GAV® is made from titanium, a material that guarantees outstanding precision, reliability and biocompatibility.
