What is Wound Darin?

A surgical drain is a tube used to remove pus, blood or other fluids from a wound. Drains inserted after surgery do not result in faster wound healing or prevent infection but are sometimes necessary to drain body fluid which may accumulate and in itself become a focus of infection.

Trocar

The trocar is a sharply pointed shaft, usually with a three-sided point to help insert the drain into the patients body. One end is inserted in the patients wound and the other end is connected to the drain and the evacuator.
