MIETHKE SENSOR RESERVOIR / SENSOR PRECHAMBER

The MIETHKE SENSOR RESERVOIR / SENSOR PRECHAMBER is the first long-term implantable measuring cell for the measurement of pressures within a shunt system.

It is integrated into a reservoir for a ventricular drainage system and transmits pressure values using telemetric methods, thus non-invasively, via a reader unit.

Advantages

  • The SENSOR RESERVOIR / SENSOR PRECHAMBER allows, for the first time, the pressure in a shunt system to be measured and evaluated, and integrated into treatment options.
  • The reservoir Membrane permits:
    • Injection of medication
    • Fluid removal
    • Valve inspections
