Abstract
An adjustable hydrocephalus valve is used for pressure equalization of the cerebrospinal fluid in the cranium of a hydrocephalus patient. The adjustable hydrocephalus valve is implantable in a patient. The valve controls drainage of excess cerebrospinal fluid. The valve has an inlet, an outlet, and a housing through which cerebrospinal fluid flows between the inlet and the outlet. The valve also has a spring, an adjusting mechanism, and at least one rotatable part, which are disposed in the housing.
