The Pulsar® valve is a monopressure valve for cerebrospinal fluid drainage. Its principle is based on the play of a silicone membrane, calibrated in low, medium or high pressure, ensuring a proximal regulation of the CSF flow through the shunt system.
The Pulsar® valve has an anti-reflux system, offers the possibility to test the shunt patency and gives access to CSF.
