Connectors are used as a link between the elements of a shunt system (e.g. catheters and valves). All connectors manufactured by Christoph Miethke GmbH & Co. KG are constructed of titanium and are biocompatible. Most commonly the internal diameter of the Titanium Connectors is 0.9 mm and the external diameter 1.9 mm.

The paediGAV is the world's first gravitational valve for the treatment of hydrocephalus in children. The valve is made of titanium, a material that guarantees outstanding precision, reliability and biocompatibility. The paediGAV is 3 Tesla MRI-conditional and is unaffected by subcutaneous pressure.

The miniNAV was developed as a more compact valve that demonstrates improved performance in terms of obstruction-related problems and resistance against subcutaneous pressure. The depiction below shows a schematic cross section of the miniNAV. The miniNAV consists of a robust titanium casing (1) whose proximal end contains a ball-cone valve. A spiral spring (2) maintains the opening pressure of the ball-cone valve and the sapphire ball (3) ensures precise closure of the valve. The inlet port (4) and the outlet port (5) are also constructed of titanium.
