Penn State startup aims to improve treatment of hydrocephalus



Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a disease resulting from too much cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and affects roughly 750,000 Americans, typically those over 65 years old. Penn State researchers are developing a new technology called HydroFix, an advanced surgical shunt system to address NPH.
