Description

Ventricular catheters (with deflector) are used to drain CSF out of the ventricle. All catheters are made of radiopaque silicone. The deflectors allow 90 degree deflection of the ventricular catheter in the burrhole without kinking the catheter. All deflectors are made of titanium. The deflectors are adjustable on the catheter, have suture fixation holes and are radiopaque.
