A SHUNT DEVICE FOR SHUNTING CEREBROSPINAL FLUID

摘要

A shunt device (1) for shunting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a CSF containing space (13) to a sinus system cavity (21) comprises a tubular inlet element (7) and a tubular outlet element (15) having an outlet end (17) with an outlet opening for insertion in the sinus system cavity (21),. The shunt device further comprises a distancer (35) provided at the outlet end (17) of the tubular outlet element for avoiding contact between the outlet end (17) and surrounding tissue and for maintaining the outlet end (17) a fixed distance from endothelium tissue when the shunt device is inserted into the sinus system cavity.
