Description

The reservoirs are all made of titanium and are radiopaque. They have a low overall height for easy and safe positioning and fixation of the ventricular catheter. They allow CSF extraction and drug injection by inserting a syringe through the silicone dome. The solid titanium base prevents penetration with a syringe needle. The reservoirs come with integrated catheters. There are 4 different types of reservoirs with integrated catheters: Burrhole reservoir, sprung reservoir, flushing reservoir and control reservoir.
