Products	Codman Hakim Programmable Valve (CHPV), Cylindrical
Company	Codman
Item	Codman Hakim Programmable Valve (CHPV), Cylindrical
Features	The programmable valve allows a surgeon to non-invasively change the opening pressure between 30mm H2O and 200 mm H2O in 18 steps; negating the need for revision surgery to alter the valve pressure. The programmability of the valve may allow for the development of specialized treatment regimes. The opening pressure of the CODMAN HAKIM Programmable Valve is changed through the use of an externally applied, codified magnetic field. The spring in the ball and spring mechanism of the valve sits atop a rotating spiral cam which contains a stepper motor. Applying a specific magnetic field to the stepper motor will cause the cam to turn slightly, increasing or decreasing the tension on the spring and ball, thus changing the opening pressure of the valve. The CODMAN HAKIM programmable is available in eight basic configurations, and each of these configurations can be purchased with a unitized distal catheter or valve only.
Description	Codman Hakim Programmable valve cylindrical offers the ability to optimize the opening pressure of a shunt system before and after implantation. A shunted patient's condition will often change over the course of their treaent.
