      MIETHKE proGAV® 2.0
      Adjustable valve with gravitational unit for the treatment of hydrocephalus

      MIETHKE gravitational valves provide a reliable solution in prevention of overdrainage complications [1, 2] associated with the management of hydrocephalus.
      proGAV® 2.0 represents the latest development by refining our existing proGAV® technology to better meet the needs of our customers and their patients.
      proGAV® 2.0 offers the reliability of our existing technology with a new tactile “Feedback” mechanism and “Soft-Touch” instrumentation. 
      The adjustable unit is equipped with a special valve surface: By using slight pressure with your finger, the “Active-Lock” mechanism of the valve is released and a tactile feedback is received.
      The combination of the refined proGAV® technology and “Soft-Touch” instrumentation provides comfort for patients and security against inadvertent readjustment caused by magnetic fields up to 3 Tesla [3].
      With the new proGAV® 2.0 Compass the opening pressure of the adjustable unit can be identified quickly, without having to expose the patient to X-ray.
