An innovative shunt design for the treatment of hydrocephalus is discussed. It is based on a two-tube configuration which restores accumulator function to suppress intracranial pressure fluctuations emanating from the brain and resulting from changes in the subject's postural position. Current shunt problems of overdrainage, occlusion, and infection are addressed and corrections inherent in the proposed design are described. Specific materials and characteristics for the construction of the proposed design are suggested.
本文讨论了一种用于治疗脑积水的创新型分流器设计。它基于双管配置，可恢复蓄能器功能，以抑制因受试者体位变化而由大脑产生的颅内压波动。文中阐述了当前分流器存在的过度引流、堵塞和感染等问题，并描述了所提出设计中固有的改进措施。还提出了用于构建所提出设计的具体材料和特性。
