Lumboperitoneal catheter systems are designed to divert CSF from the lumbar subarachnoid space to the peritoneal cavity. The L/P shunt systems are comprised of barium impregnated lumboperitoneal catheters, fixation tabs, and separately available CSF-lumboperitoneal reservoirs. Neither the finished product, normaterials used during manufacture of product, contain latex. Valves and reservoirs are designed to allow injection or sampling through the dome using a 25G or smaller noncoring needle.
