The OSV II Flow Control Valves by Codman (now owned and distributed by Integra Lifesciences) is a CSF shunt valve with a flow regulation self-adjusting valve that works to maintain a constant flow rate despite changes in differential pressures caused by postural and vasogenic changes. This is done by a membrane that is pushed up or down based on differential pressure to maintain a stable flow. Flow is maintained by 3 stages of differential pressure:
Valve is available in several forms:
