DESU DEPUS Quick Response shunt is designed to regulate and sustain the intraventricular pressure (IVP) of the patient via controlled drainage of the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). The shunt has two versions according to intention of use: ventriculoperitoneal and lumboperitoneal.
The mechanism within the shunt is triggered by positive ventricular pressure and the valve opens immediately. The ruby ball and the titanium spring valve are the essentials of this adjustable system that works on the theory of hydrodynamic leverage.
The shunt body is designed as to have uniquely smaller dimensions than its competitors. Inner diameter of the valve is 10 mm, outer diameter is 13,5 mm and the length is 16 mm. DESU DEPUS Quick Response shunt is also designed with an infection-preventing version, which includes an antibiotic impregnated silicone cover. This antibiotic impregnated body design of the DEPUS valve is unique in the current shunt market. Controlled release of the impregnated antibiotics from the silicone body for 28 days is also the ultimate method for infection prevention, which is one of the main problems of shunt surgery.
A) DEPUS QUICK RESPONSE SHUNTS (STANDARD VALVE BODY / ANTIBIOTIC IMPREGNATED SILICONE COVER)
Polysulphone shunts are manufactured using radiopaque titanium, ruby ball and polysulphone (long term implantable) and are supplied sterile (ETO). The shunt pressure levels are marked with tantalum, which allows MRI visibility.
