CURRENT STATUS
NanoShunt Wireless Implant Technology:
-
NanoShunt concept is a paradigm shift in disposing of CSF fluid in hydrocephalus patients.
-
Thermodynamics, liquid transport theory, and experiments support direct dispersion and disposal of CSF by misting, evaporation, diffusion, and absorption without requiring shunt tubes.
-
In NanoShunt, disposal of CSF is via sweating (perspiration) and capillary bed absorption.
-
NanoShunt has been miniaturized and ready for small animal study.
Superiorities of NanoShunt Over VP Shunt Method to Avoid:
-
disconnection,
-
migration,
-
occlusion,
-
pseudocyst formation and,
-
bowel injury, among others,
-
Infection.
