The Single Pass Tunneling Guidewire kit is designed to facilitate the subcutaneous passage of shunt tubing from a frontal scalp incision, or an incision on the neck, to an incision site on the torso when implanting a ventricular shunting system in patients greater than five (5) years old with a normal skull and normal skin.
A sterile, hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to create a subcutaneous tunnel (artificial passageway) between percutaneous entry and exit incisions for the subcutaneous placement of a device (e.g., catheter for medication administration, shunt). It is available in a variety of forms and may be: 1) a luminal sheath with a removable inner obturator, intended for co-axial device introduction, followed by sheath removal; or 2) a non-luminal device intended to either lead or pull the device through subcutaneous tissue. It is not intended for tunnelling through deep tissues. This is a single-use device.
