Description

The ports / 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. There are 6 different types: Burrhole port, CSF port, Burrhole reservoir, Sprung reservoir, Flushing reservoir, Control reservoir.
