MIETHKE DualSwitch® Valve

Special valve design for patients with increased level of tumor cells, debris or blood cells

A high protein level or tumor cells in the CSF can lead to valve blockage. These issues were given particular consideration in the development of the MIETHKE DualSwitch® Valve. The special design of the valve presents a very large surface area to the CSF, thus ensuring reliable operation even in contaminated fluid.
Clinical studies also demonstrate successful treatment of patients with so-called normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).
The MIETHKE DualSwitch® Valve is made from titanium, a material that guarantees outstanding precision, reliability and biocompatibility.
