| Item | PS Medical® Delta valve |
| Features | All Delta valves incorporate an injectable reservoir dome, occluders for selective flushing, and a non-metallic design. The valves are fabricated of dissimilar materials -- polypropylene and silicone elastomer -- reducing the chance of valve sticking and deformation. Radiopaque indicators provide an indication of valve-to-catheter approximation. Delta valves are available in two styles, two sizes, and four performance levels, meeting the needs of most patient groups. |
| Description | The PS Medical Delta valve is designed to minimize overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and maintain intraventricular pressure (IVP) within a normal physiologic range, regardless of patient position. The normally closed Delta chamber mechanism opens in response to positive ventricular pressure. Working with the membrane valve, this mechanism minimizes overdrainage by utilizing the principles of hydrodynamic leverage. All Delta valves incorporate a central reservoir dome, occluders for selective flushing, and a non-metalliic design. The valves are fabricated of dissimilar materials -- polypropylene and silicone elastomer -- reducing the chance of valve sticking and deformation. Radiopaque indicators provide an indication of valve-to-catheter approximation. Delta technology is available in two sizes, four levels, and many configurations and styles, meeting the specific needs of patient groups, and physician surgical techniques.
