What Is a Wound Drain?
A wound drain is typically a plastic tube that provides a way for unnecessary body fluids or air to flow out of the body from a wound. The purpose of the drain is to remove fluid and/or blood from the area of surgery. This helps the healing process. One end of the wound drain is placed within the wound and the other end may be connected to a suction collection device. The fluid may be collected in a drainage bag, plastic bulb, plastic carton, or onto a dressing.
