product details

• Shunts typically consist of two catheters and a valve that redirect excess fluid from the brain's ventricle to another part of the body.
• A Medtronic shunt .
• The valve regulates the amount, flow direction, and pressure of cerebrospinal fluid out of the brain’s ventricles. 
• As the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid inside the brain increases, the one-way valve opens and the excessive fluid drains to the downstream cavity.

• Medtronic has pulled all unused units of the StrataMR valves and shunts from the market after logging an increase in product complaints
