Percutaneous lumbar peritoneal shunting may be utilized in the treatment of communicating hydrocephalus. Integra NL97105S01 Spetzler Lumbar Shunt is designed to shunt CSF from the lumbar subarachnoid space to the peritoneal cavity. The shunt may be used for diagnosis, evaluation or treatment of normal pressure communicating hydrocephalus. A percutaneous lumbar peritoneal shunt is also useful in the management of persistent cerebrospinal fluid fistulas, bulging cranial and suboccipital decompressions and in transient CSF absorption defects, e.g., postmeningitic or post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus.
The In-Line Valve, available as a separate component of the system, is indicated for use where added resistance is desired to alleviate symptoms of low pressure in the small percentage of patients who, after normal drainage and in the normal course of treatment, develop such symptoms.
In Perfect sealed condition but past expiration date. Not for human use in the US.
Expiration dates have mostly to do with sterilization and not the integrity of the product. The manufacturers sterilize the products after they are packaged and it lasts so many years. The only products we caution customers about are ones that are absorbable or drug coated.
