2000 - Programmable antisiphon shunt system to treat hydrocephalus.

* Canady was co-inventor of a programmable antisiphon shunt system designed to treat hydrocephalus, a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain's ventricles. * The device allowed for pressure adjustments without additional surgical intervention and helped reduce complications associated with overdrainage. * It incorporated antisiphon mechanisms and programmability features that enabled safer, more personalized cerebrospinal fluid management in pediatric patients.
