About our Accessories

The Sophysa accessories can be split into three categories:

Catheters : intraventricular catheters to be connected upstream the valve, distal catheters to be connected downstream the valve, and lumbo-peritoneal catheters to allow lumbo-peritoneal shunting.
Reservoirs: placed upstream a valve, a reservoir is used to get an access to CSF in a shunt either for CSF sampling or to inject fluid in the shunt.
Sophysa also offers surgery accessories to make the operative gesture easier.

Sophysa offers a complete range of catheters to set the shunts up.

Ventricular catheters designed for CSF drainage between the ventricles and the valve, straight or right-angled, with or without reservoir.
Distal catheters, for CSF drainage from the valve to the right atrium of the heart or to the peritoneal cavity.
Lumbo-peritoneal catheters for CSF drainage from the subarachnoid space of the spine.

Sophysa offfers a range of reservoirs, CSF reservoirs are used in conjunction with a ventricular catheter to access CSF.

Standard CSF reservoirs, for subcutaneous CSF access.
Convertible reservoirs, designed to be connected to a shunt, should this conversion become necessary.
Shunt reservoirs, in-Line CSF Reservoirs incorporating an outlet catheter designed to be attached to a CSF shunt system.
