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.
