  • An endolymphatic shunt tube with valve is a device that consists of a pressure-limiting valve associated with a tube intended to be implanted in the inner ear to relieve the symptoms of vertigo. The device directs excess endolymph from the distended end of the endolymphatic system into the mastoid cavity where resorption occurs. The function of the pressure-limiting inner ear valve is to impede the flow of endolymph so that a physiologically normal endolymphatic pressure is maintained. The device is made of silicone elastomer and polyamide and contains gold radiopaque markers within the silicone elastomer sheath.
