The Hydrocephalus Shunts market covers Adjustable Valves, Monopressure Valves, etc. The typical players include Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Integra LifeSciences, SOPHYSA, B.BRAUN, etc.
CSF diversion devices or shunts have been used successfully and have become the primary therapy for hydrocephalus treatment for nearly 60 years.
An implanted shunt diverts CSF from the ventricles within the brain or the subarachnoid spaces around the brain and spinal cord to another body region where it will be absorbed.
Shunts typically consist of three major components:
An inflow (proximal or closer to the inflow site) catheter, which drains CSF from the ventricles or the subarachnoid space; this tube leaves the brain through a small hole in the skull and then runs for a short distance under the skin.
A valve mechanism, which regulates differential pressure or controls flow through the shunt tubing; this device is connected to the proximal catheter and lies between the skin and the skull, usually on top of the head or just behind the ear.
An outflow (distal or farther away from the inflow site) catheter, which runs under the skin and directs CSF from the valve to the abdominal (or peritoneal) cavity, heart or other suitable drainage site
Other shunt components may include reservoirs and/or chambers for CSF sampling or injecting medications or dyes, on/off devices, anti-siphon or other flow-compensating devices, or auxiliary catheters to modify performance or adapt the basic system to the patient’s specialized needs. In selected cases (such as when cysts or subarachnoid fluid collections are drained), a shunt may not contain a valve or a very low resistance valve may be used.
The major players in global Hydrocephalus Shunts market include Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Integra LifeSciences, etc. The top 3 players occupy about 60% shares of the global market. North America is the main market, and occupies about 50% of the global market. Adjustable Valves is the main type, with a share about 65%. Adult and Child are two applications.
