Approximately 18mm of the tip is multi-perforated to help improve flow and decrease the possibility of obstruction. Designed for diverting fluid from the lumbar subarachnoid space, the catheter can be inserted with a Tuohy needle using percutaneous techniques. The external portion of the catheter is secured to the subcutaneous tissue in the lumbar area by the suture collar. A 14-guage thin wall Tuohy needle with obturator, guide wire, and 22-gauge blunt needle are included. A female luer adapter and train relief tubing is also included. Two suture collars may be wrapped around the catheter and may be anchored in place with a suture.

PERITONEAL CATHETER, 90CM LENGTHThe Integra Peritoneal Open-Ended Catheter with Slits is designed to deliver cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the peritoneal cavity with minimum flow resistance. This catheter is recommended for use with pressure control valves located proximally in the hydrocephalic shunt system. The catheter is made of a high durometer silicone elastomer which helps resist kinking and occlusion caused by the bending or twisting of the catheter. A stripe, made of barium sulfate impregnated silicone elastomer, is imbedded in the wall of the catheter. The stripe provides a catheter which is radiopaque throughout its entire length, while keeping barium sulfate away from the surface of the catheter and allowing visual observation of flow through the catheter during implantation. Black radiopaque length markers are located at 10, 20, and 30 cm from the distal tip to assist in positioning of the catheter. The catheter is open-ended; it does not resist retrograde flow. This catheter provides flow resistance of approximately 12 mm H2O at a flow rate of 23 ml/hr.

LONG SPETZLER 105CM LP SHUNT The Spetzler Lumbar Peritoneal Shunt System is designed to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lumbar subarachnoid space to the peritoneum. Due to the small diameter of the catheter tubing, shunting may be accomplished by percutaneous techniques. A variety of devices are available: a one-piece model without a reservoir; separate large or small reservoirs that contain a one-way valve, which may be used when a flushing capability is required; and a separate miter valve, available in low, medium, or high pressure, which may be used when added resistance is desired.
3 FRENCH T-TUBEThe Integra Edwards-Barbaro Syringo-Peritoneal Shunt is designed
3 FRENCH T-TUBEThe Integra Edwards-Barbaro Syringo-Peritoneal Shunt is designed to provide continuous drainage of fluid from within a spinal cord cyst to a site outside the spinal canal. The T-tube diameter is small to minimize the size of the myelotomy and the catheter is flexible to minimize the spinal cord manipulation necessary to insert the tube into a spinal cord cyst. The T-shape allows drainage above and below the myelotomy site, helps prevent kinking by providing a right-angle exit through the dura, and reduces the risk of migration out of the spinal cord. The multi-holed catheter reduces the risk of clogging at the spinal end of the system. The suture tab allows the T-tube to be anchored to the dura or paraspinous muscles without the risk of shunt occlusion associated with a circumferential ligature. If a step down connector is used, it adapts the T-tube diameter to the peritoneal reflux control catheter.

NEUROVIEW ENDOSCOPIC VENT CATHThe Integra Neuroview ventricular catheter is desi
NEUROVIEW ENDOSCOPIC VENT CATHThe Integra Neuroview ventricular catheter is designed to be used with a neurosurgical endoscope. The endoscope is used when a physician wishes to place a catheter’s tip at a specific intraventricular location or to view intraventricular anatomy. The slit-tip of the catheter protects the endocscope from debris buildup during insertion, but allows intraventricular viewing to assist in optimal catheter placement. The Neuroview ventricular catheter is manufactured from a high durometer silicone elastomer, which helps resist kinking and occlusion caused by the bending or twisting of the catheter. A stripe, made of barium sulfate impregnated silicone elastomer, is imbedded in the wall of the catheter. The stripe provides a catheter which is radiopaque throughout its entire length, while keeping barium sulfate away from the surface of the catheter and allowing visual observation of flow through the catheter during implantation. The catheter has multiple small perforations near the tip to facilitate drainage of CSF and to help reduce clogging. The extreme tip is closed to help prevent particulate matter from entering the tubing during insertion. The catheter has graduation markers to allow the surgeon to measure the length of tubing placed within the ventricle during surgery.

VALVE FLUSH F/B D/C W/CONNECTORThe Integra Mishler Dual Chamber Flushing valve, Flat Bottom Design incorporates two separate interior chambers to provide two-way flow control when shunting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles of the brain. This silicone elastomer flushing valve is available with or without an integral Anti-Siphon Device. The flat bottom configuration eliminates the need for a formal burr hole, provides greater latitude in positioning the flushing valve and allows the ventricular catheter to be revised without disturbing the flushing valve. Due to the dual chamber feature, the proximal and distal catheters may be flushed separately or simultaneously. The flow of CSF from the ventricular catheter is controlled by a miter valve located on the vertical chamber divider. This valve is designed to open under a medium positive ventricular pressure and close under a negative pressure. The flushing valve dome is marked with an arrow to indicate the CSF flow direction. The flange overlying the skull contains sutural holes to facilitate securing the device to the periosteum.
