CSF Reservoirs CSF-Ventricular Reservoirs are available in several configurations differentiated by inlet connector orientation and dome diameter. The reservoirs are designed to allow multiple punctures with a 25-gauge or smaller needle.
Integral connectors facilitate attachment of a ventricular catheter.
The non-metallic design of the reservoirs prevents image distortion with CT or MRI scans. The 12 mm Convertible Reservoir, specifically designed for use in neonates, is fabricated with a short, preformed, right angle intracranial catheter. Convertible reservoirs may be converted to CSF shunt components by cutting off the outlet tube plug and connecting the outlet tube to a shunt valve or to a valved catheter. CSF-Ventriculostomy Reservoirs and Ventriculostomy Reservoir Kits are Burr Hole models featuring removable reservoir caps. All models can easily be converted to a CSF-Flow Control Shunt component.
