The CSF Reservoir consists of a silicone dome-shaped reservoir incorporating a polypropylene needle-stop, and an F8 integrated connector. The CSF Reservoir can be provided alone. Other configurations include a right angle ventricular catheter (7 cm or 9 cm length) and a 15 cm introducing rod, or a 15 cm straight ventricular catheter and a right angle guide. The ventricular catheter features radiopaque length markings at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 cm from the tip.
A sterile, implantable chamber intended to be connected to an intracerebral catheter for infusion/injection of materials (e.g., chemotherapeutic agents, radioisotopes) into the brain (e.g., cerebral ventricles, cystic tumours, tumour cavities); it may also be used for drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles and as part of a ventriculo-peritoneal/atrial shunt system. The device is implanted subcutaneously and materials infused/injected with a needle via hypodermic puncture flow into the target site through the connected catheter. It is typically a bulb-shaped device made of plastic material (e.g., polypropylene, silicone). This is a single-use device.
