The pressure/flow performance of the Novus Valves is specifically designed to resemble the characteristics of normal, healthy, CSF physiology. Novus features an integral Anti-Siphon Device based on a normally-open design. This proven innovation minimizes gravity-induced overdrainage when a patient sits or stands, maintaining intraventricular pressure within the normal physiologic range.
Key Features:
- Features integral Anti-Siphon Device
- Horizontally-mounted T-valve mechanism allows a straighter flow path
- Polypropylene Needle guard reduces the risk of improper needle placement
- Proximal and distal occluders permit selective flushing and patency testing
- All Novus Valves include integral connectors to facilitate catheter connection
- Designed with no metal parts that can interfere with CT or MRI scans
- Available in both standard and mini sizes and two pressure ranges
Only available in the United States.
