The British antibiotic and silver impregnated catheters for ventriculoperitoneal shunts multi-centre randomised controlled trial (The BASICS trial)
The commonest treatment for hydrocephalus is a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, but it carries risks of infection. This study will compare two new devices to try to reduce shunt infection - antibiotic-impregnated (Bactiseal) and silver-impregnated (Silverline) shunts - and try to establish which provides the most protection against infection.
