DESCRIPTION:
The Standard Spiral-Port Ventricular Catheter is designed with holes positioned in a spiral pattern to promote free flow of CSF and discourage occlusion of the holes by debris, tissue, choroid plexus or

which allows the physician to check for air bubbles in the system prior to closing. The encapsulated barium does not come into contact with CSF or tissue and therefore is not susceptable to complication associated with barium catheters. A stainless steel stylet is provided (not shown).
