MIETHKE proGAV 2.0

MIETHKE gravitational valves provide a reliable prevention of overdrainage complications in Hydrocephalus therapy. With MIETHKE proGAV 2.0® MIETHKE is presenting a new Hydrocephalus Valve. The approved concept of MIETHKE proGAV® has been fundamentally redesigned. Like his forerunner MIETHKE proGAV 2.0® consists of an adjustable and gravitational unit. To the important improvements belong a “Feedback Mechanism” and a new generation of “Soft-Touch” Adjustment and Measurement Tools. The adjustable unit is equipped with a new valve surface, by using slight pressure with your finger, the “Active-Lock” Mechanism of the valve is released and a tactile feedback is sent.
The combination with the MIETHKE proGAV 2.0® Adjustment Tools enables a soft and secure adjustment of the valve. The “Active-Lock” Mechanism provide a secure prevention of inadvertent readjustment caused by external magnet fields up to 3 Tesla. With the new MIETHKE proGAV 2.0® Compass the opening pressure of the valve can be measured fast and without having to expose the patient to X-ray.
