ABSTRACT:
A ventricular hydrocephalus treatment system is provided which includes a right angle connector having a self-sealing port that is in general alignment with a distal end opening of the right angle connector in order to provide for implanting passage of a stylet through the self-sealing port and into a ventricular catheter projecting through the proximal end opening. The ventricular catheter is an integral part of a tubing assembly that also includes a hydrocephalus valve for regulating the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the ventricular catheter after implantation into a ventricle of the brain.
