Integra NL97003S01 Integra®

3 FRENCH T-TUBEThe Integra Edwards-Barbaro Syringo-Peritoneal Shunt is designed to provide continuous drainage of fluid from within a spinal cord cyst to a site outside the spinal canal. The T-tube diameter is small to minimize the size of the myelotomy and the catheter is flexible to minimize the spinal cord manipulation necessary to insert the tube into a spinal cord cyst. The T-shape allows drainage above and below the myelotomy site, helps prevent kinking by providing a right-angle exit through the dura, and reduces the risk of migration out of the spinal cord. The multi-holed catheter reduces the risk of clogging at the spinal end of the system. The suture tab allows the T-tube to be anchored to the dura or paraspinous muscles without the risk of shunt occlusion associated with a circumferential ligature. If a step down connector is used, it adapts the T-tube diameter to the peritoneal reflux control catheter.
