Lumboperitoneal shunt peritoneal catheter

A lumboperitoneal shunt peritoneal catheter is a flexible, implantable tube used to redirect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the spinal canal into the abdominal cavity. It is part of a larger shunt system designed to relieve pressure in the brain caused by conditions like hydrocephalus, helping to manage fluid buildup safely over time.

These devices are typically implanted surgically and are made from biocompatible materials like plastic. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as medical devices and may require approval for use in specific markets. Supply often includes sterile packaging and associated disposable components for implantation.
