Company profile
About MIETHKE
MIETHKE is a German manufacturer based in Potsdam that works almost exclusively on hydrocephalus. Founded in 1992 by engineer Christoph Miethke, it makes titanium shunt valves – preset and non-invasively adjustable, many of them gravity-assisted – together with catheters, reservoirs and telemetric pressure-measurement implants. MIETHKE has worked with B. Braun Aesculap on distribution since 1999.
