本発明は、上述したような従来技術のシャントシステムに関連する全ての問題を実質的に克服する能力を有すると考えられる。
CSFは、脳(脳室洞の脈絡集網及び脳室上皮内壁)において、約0.3〜0.5ミリリットル/分の速度で作られる。脳内CSFの平均容量は125ミリリットルである。CSFの全体容量は、24時間で3〜4回入れ替えられる(アデレード(Adelaide)大学小児脳神経外科)。従って、CSFの生産及び吸収は、動的平衡状態にある。CSF吸収が生じることにより、くも膜下領域内で所望の圧力レベルを維持することによる精確なメカニズムについていくつかの議論はあるが、平衡状態を維持するための主要ルートは、CSFが洞の硬膜を貫通するくも膜顆粒を通り洞へ移動するのが許容される結果であると最も広く考えられている。
水頭症は、非連続的又は連続的として説明される。連続形態は、くも膜顆粒/柔毛のレベルで異常である。非連続型は、脳の内部での流出に対する障害によって生じさせられる。これらの水頭症の病的状態は生命を脅かすと共に、治療されずにいれば、脳障害を引き起こしかねない。これらは、多くの様々な病因によって引き起こされると共に、小児患者及び成人患者の両方に起こる。
マイクロバルブ12を形成する材料は、低い剛性を有する(即ち、低いクラッキング圧を有する)と共に、生体と適合可能でなければならない。これらの要件を満たすために、パリレンC(ポリ―モノクロロパラキシリレン)が、機器の材料として選択されている。パリレンCは、ミクロ的に機械加工できる生体適合可能な薄い高分子フィルムである。更に、本システムに利用される他の材料と共に、脳のCATスキャン及びMRIのような現用のイメージングモダリティーに適合する。
の最も広範な態様の限定と考えられない。
1.弁を横切る圧力が増加させられるにつれて、膜の変形が増加した。
3.ドームペタル構成では、ドームの高さが増加させられるにつれて、膜の変形が増加した。
逆止弁の性能に関する4つのパラメータは、クラッキング圧力、前方方向への流れ抵抗
、逆方向への漏れ、及び最大逆阻止圧力である。4つのパラメータについて研究するために、流体分析が構造分析と結合されることが必要とされる。当該技術分野に属する者であれば確かに、本発明で使用するのに適当なバルブを選択する目的のために、様々な異なるマイクロバルブの操作性について研究し得る。
により、克服され得ると考えられる。システム10の薄型断面はさらに、洞をくも膜下腔に嵌合させると共に、本来のくも膜柔毛が洞の全長に沿って配置される生理学的システムをより精密に擬する。
示すように、バルブ構造体の周縁がもたらされる。これらの壁208は、マイクロニードル12を形成するために利用されるネガ型フォトレジスト材料と同じものから形成されると共に、マイクロニードル12の組立てに関して上述したマスキング/UV露光技術と同じものによって形成される。
