Integra NL96001S01 Integra Pudenz Ventricular Catheter

STRIPED PUD. VENTRICULAR CATHETERThe Integra Pudenz Ventricular Cather is designed for shunting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles of the brain. The Large Hole Model 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 four pairs of holes near the tip to facilitate drainage of CSF and to help reduce clogging of the catheter lumen. The extreme tip of the catheter is closed. The catheter incorporates markers at 5, 6, 7, 10 and 15 cm. A stylet is provided, along with a right-angle guide.
