Antibiotic Silicone & Polysulphone Shunts
Silicone Shunts & Shunt Kits
Desu shunts contain antibiotics in the silicone body of the valves, a unique quality in this market. Controlled release of impregnated antibiotics from the silicone body for a duration of 28 days helps to significantly lower any chance of infection.
None of the valves contain any metal parts, which gives them the uniqueness of non-interference during MRI or CT scans. The radiopaque barium marks on the valves indicate pressure, flow direction and valve-to-catheter approximation.
Polysulphone Based Shunt Systems
The Desu Depus Quick Response shunt is designed to regulate and sustain the intraventricular pressure (IVP) of the patient via controlled drainage of CSF. The shunt has two versions: ventriculoperitoneal & lumboperitoneal. Both are designed with an antibiotic (Rifampicin & Clindamycin HCI) infection-preventing version, which includes an antibiotic-impregnated silicone cover.
Antibiotic Silicon Catheters
All DESU catheters are manufactured with barium-impregnated silicone raw material to allow radiopacity. In addition, tantalum is used to mark length measurements which allows visibility during magnetic resonance imaging.
Antibiotic-impregnated catheters are manufactured using long-term implantable grade silicone tubing. These catheters, which are impregnated with Rifampicin and Clindamycin HCl, are shown to decrease gram-positive bacteria colonisation.
