Founded in 1976, SOPHYSA was the pioneer in the development of adjustable neurosurgical valves to treat hydrocephalus. Introduced in 1984, the Sophy® valve was the first adjustable valve in the World allowing non-invasive adjustment of operating pressures, to match an individual patient's changing clinical needs.
Acquired in 1989 by the Japanese tkb Group, SOPHYSA expanded quickly in France, and abroad, gaining global recognition in the field of Neurosurgery.
In 2004, SOPHYSA launched the Polaris® valve, the first adjustable valve with a lock, specifically designed to resist unintentional changes in operating pressure – a milestone in adjustable valve safety. Polaris® offers the patient an unequalled security against the clinical risks associated with those dysadjustments.
In 2005, SOPHYSA introduced Pressio®,a user-friendly Intra-Cranial Pressure monitoring system for neurosurgery and neurotrauma, bringing the continuous intracranial pressure monitoring to a new level of performance and ease of use.
As a neurosurgery specialist, SOPHYSA manufactures and markets a wide range of neurosurgical implants for the treatment of hydrocephalus, including various types of valves, catheters, reservoirs and accessories, a range of ICP sensors and external drainage systems, as well as subcutaneous spinal access ports.
SOPHYSA markets its products worldwide through an international network of exclusive distributors. In France and Benelux, SOPHYSA products are marketed by direct sales representatives.
ICP Monitoring is a key element for patient management with acute brain damages. Over the last decades, the ICP monitoring has evolved from the simple average value calculated every hour to the analysis of the signal shape, its evolution in the time and the calculation of new indicators, all integrated in a multimodal monitoring.
Face to these new expectations, and in accordance with our commitment to develop ground-breaking solutions to improve user experience, our new ICP monitoring system Pressio®2 has been designed to bring:
USER FRIENDLINESS
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
IMPROVED COMPATIBILITY
PRESSIO® 2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The Pressio® 2 system offers the possibility to transfer data of intracranial pressure and temperature monitoring either to a patient monitor or to a computer for research purposes, depending on clinicians’ needs.
For each type of transfer, different accessories are needed
