The LimiTorr volume limiting external CSF drainage system was designed to include a volume limiting valve mechanism which reduces the chances for excessive CSF drainage. The burette in the volume limiting external CSF drainage system contains a volume limiting valve which stops drainage when the pre-determined volume (20ml-30ml) is reached. Indications: The LimiTorr system allows for drainage and monitoring of CSF from the lateral ventricles of the brain and the lumbar subarachnoid space in selected patients to reduce intracranial pressure (ICP), to monitor CSF, to provide temporary drainage of CSF in patients with infected CSF shunts, and to monitor ICP.
