What materials are in a vp shunt?

A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt typically consists of several components made from biocompatible materials. The main parts include a silicone or polyurethane catheter that drains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a one-way valve that regulates the flow of CSF, and a reservoir for monitoring or sampling CSF. These materials are chosen for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to infection.
