Abstract
This paper presents the fabrication and testing of a two-way pressure regulation micro shunt valve with an anti-siphon effect that can be implanted in hydrocephalus patients. This micro shunt valve consists of a silicone rubber membrane and a valve seat for the opening pressure control as well as the anti-siphon behavior. The two-way pressure regulation and the anti-siphon effect of the micro shunt valve are verified experimentally for various sizes of membranes and valve seats.
