The paediSHUNTASSISTANT utilises the same
mechanism as the SHUNTASSISTANT. ho-
wever, it is considerably smaller and its func-
tions are intended to meet the special needs of
pediatric hydrocephalus.
TANT consists of a robust titanium casing (1),
a weight-ball (2), as well as a small sealing ball
(3) that rests on the ball seat (4). The cerebro-
spinal fluid flows in through the inlet port (5)
and flows out by way of the outlet port (6).
