Ventricular and Lumbar drains; How to get them.

In simple terms, these are both internal and external drains placed into spaces in the ventricular and lumbar regions used to manage hydrocephalus.

So What is Hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus is a medical condition that affects the brain and can cause serious complications if left untreated. It is characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, which can lead to increased pressure and damage to brain tissue. It affects Infants as well as the elderly (Normal pressure hydrocephalus). Fortunately, there are Lumbar and Ventricular drains available to treat hydrocephalus, including ventriculoperitoneal shunts, External Ventricular Drain sets, and lumbar drainage sets and we supply them.

A ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a medical device that is used to treat hydrocephalus by draining excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain. The shunt is a tube that is placed in the brain and guided to the abdomen, where the fluid can be absorbed by the body. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a period of hospital stay. We deal on the Surgiwear Chabra brand and we also supply miethke gravitational shunts.

An EVD set, or external ventricular drain set, is a medical device that is used to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain. It is a temporary measure that is used to relieve pressure on the brain until a more permanent solution, such as a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, can be put in place. This procedure is typically performed in an intensive care unit and requires close monitoring by medical staff. We currently supply the Surgiwear brand.

A lumbar drainage set is a medical device that is used to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal cord. It is a temporary measure that is used to relieve pressure on the spinal cord until a more permanent solution can be put in place. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and requires a hospital stay of several days. We currently supply Surgiwear brands.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of hydrocephalus, such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, or vision problems, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt, ventriculoperitoneal shunt passer, EVD set, or lumbar drainage set may be necessary to relieve the pressure on the brain or spinal cord and prevent further damage.

In conclusion, Cerebrospinal fluid drainage systems are important medical devices that are used to treat hydrocephalus and relieve pressure on the brain or spinal cord. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of hydrocephalus, seek medical attention immediately. With the right treatment, it is possible to manage hydrocephalus and prevent serious complications.
