Facilitates post-operative drainage of air, blood, or other fluids from the pleural space after cardio-thoracic surgery. Helps to restore lung function by reducing pressure on the lungs and allowing for easier lung expansion. Designed for gentle insertion and to prevent tissue aspiration with its smooth, rounded end and cross-side eyes. The angled design is tailored for particular surgical requirements, aiding in the effective removal of fluids. Depth markings allow for precise placement, contributing to the safety and accuracy of the procedure.

This product is intended for use by a trained and registered healthcare professional only. The professional will select the appropriate catheter size. After making a stab incision, the catheter is gently inserted into the pleural space to the desired depth, using the markings for guidance. The proximal end is then connected to an underwater seal drainage system or collection bag. The catheter's position should be confirmed, often with a chest x-ray.
