Christoph Miethke GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1992 and is now situated in Potsdam, Germany. The company develops, produces and distributes neurosurgical products for the treatment of hydrocephalus.
Because of its unique drainage system and novel valve mechanism, Christoph Miethke GmbH & Co.KG is well regarded as an innovative organisation by neurosurgical experts worldwide.

The basis for the company’s success is its gravitation technology, which has been continuously improved and refined, allowing problems such as under-drainage to be overcome.The effect of the gravitational valves is dependent on the body position of the patient, varying in response to changes in posture.

Not only the shunt systems are built in an innovative way, but also the usage of titanium guarantees the highest precision and quality of the products. All of the Miethke valves are made of titanium. This material excels in biocompatibility, magnetic resonance imaging safety and the long durability.

The company has already been awarded twice with the innovation prize Berlin-Brandenburg for their innovative product technology in years 1999 and 2006.

Christoph Miethke GmbH & Co. KG has been continuously expanding since its founding. The number of employees has now risen from the original three members to around forty. Currently, Miethke-valves are being implanted in over 50 countries around the world. This enormous success is based on an ongoing partnership and cooperation with the global player B.Braun Aesculap AG in Tuttlingen, Germany, which has been in effect since 1999.

The company has it’s focus on consistent research and further development of its products always with the aim to improve the life quality of the patients treated for hydrocephalus and to help them lead a life as normal as possible. We are in continuous commutation with neurosurgeons all over the world and we improve our products in close collaboration with them. The knowledge and experience gained in this way can be lucratively used in the future projects in the field of neurosurgery.
