Cardinal Health JP-2228 - Hubless 30cm Channels Silicone Round Drain without Trocar, 15 Fr, 8BX/CS

Silicone Round Wound Drains

Traditional style, 100% silicone wound drains have smooth, heat polished perforations that are positioned in alternate 90 planes for effective exudate drainage.

This Wound Drain System combines a transparent silicone round tube and a white perforated round drain. The inner wall of the implanted flat segment features tooth-like structure to prevent possible occlusion when the tube is pressed or kinked. Drain placement is quick and easy thanks to the convenient indicator dot. Drains are Radio-opaque for X-Ray Detection.

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.
