MIETHKE proSA®
Adjustable gravitational valve for the treatment of hydrocephalus

The MIETHKE proSA® Shunt System represents the first generation of adjustable gravitational valves that allow postoperative adaptation to the individual needs of the patient for the upright body position. [1,2]

It offers effective protection against overdrainage through an individually and continuously adjustable large opening pressure range of 0-40 cmH2O [3,4]

The patented verification and adjustment instruments enable a simple, quick and uncomplicated adjustment of the pressure level without having to perform X-rays that are stressful for the patient. [3,4,5,6]

Indication:

  • Treatment of Hydrocephalus
