Lumbar Catheter Solutions
Advanced Catheter Design for Lumbar Drainage.
Neuromedex® lumbar catheters are designed specifically for safe spinal access in procedures requiring external CSF drainage. Developed with a focus on infection prevention, ease of placement and patient comfort, they come in both standard and Pro (with hydrophilic mandrin) variants. VentriGuard® antimicrobial technology is available in both variants to support higher-risk environments.

VentriGuard® Antimicrobial Lumbar Catheter
Featuring a silver-ion matrix embedded throughout the catheter material, this version prevents bacterial and fungal colonisation, inhibits biofilm formation, and helps reduce resistant infections.
-
VentriGuard® Antimicrobial Lumbar Catheter PRO
Combining silver-ion antimicrobial technology with a pre-mounted hydrophilic mandrin, the PRO version offers both long-lasting infection prevention and smoother insertion.
-
Lumbar Catheter
The standard Neuromedex lumbar catheter is built for safe, effective CSF drainage with kink-resistant design and clear length markings for accurate placement.
-
Lumbar Catheter PRO
Designed for smoother, more controlled insertion, the PRO version includes a pre-mounted hydrophilic mandrin that helps prevent misplacement during spinal access.
VentriGuard® Antimicrobial
Lumbar Catheter PRO
The VentriGuard® Antimicrobial Lumbar Catheter PRO combines silver-ion technology for infection prevention with a pre-mounted hydrophilic mandrin for smoother, safer insertion. It provides continuous antimicrobial protection for up to 28 days and reduces handling complexity for clinical teams. Every detail has been developed with patient safety in mind. Neuromedex partners with hospitals and ICUs to create customised solutions for specific setups, ensuring consistent workflows, reliable performance and safer outcomes.
-
Effective against a wide spectrum of bacteria, including resistant strains.
-
Silver ions are continuously released over weeks, supporting extended EVD use.
-
Stops bacterial adhesion and supports long-term infection prevention.
-
Designed to reduce infection risk and support better patient outcomes.
Lumbar Catheter PRO
Safer handling with hydrophilic mandrin
Designed for smoother, more controlled insertion, the PRO version includes a pre-mounted hydrophilic mandrin that helps prevent misplacement during spinal access. It delivers the same reliable drainage and handling performance as the standard catheter, with added ease of use for clinical teams.
