Product Type:
Secretion suction device, wound drainage for pleural effusion
Description:
The drainage kit is intended to provide pain relief and relief from symptoms without having to undergo repeated punctures or chemical pleurotheses. According to the manufacturer, the PleurX products are an alternative to these treatment methods.
The Pleura Drainage Kit allows fluid to be drained from the pleura on an outpatient basis. All the necessary components are included. The drainage kit consists of a drainage bottle which contains a vacuum and to which a drainage line is attached. The tip of the drainage line allows a valve on the implanted catheter to be opened. As soon as the clamps on the drainage bottle are opened, the fluid can be drained from the pleura. To use the system, the doctor must first implant a Pleurex catheter so that the fluid can be drained from the chest. The part of the catheter located in the chest has several holes through which fluid can enter the catheter. There is a valve at the outer end of the catheter which prevents air from entering and fluid from leaking out if there is no drainage.
The contents of the dressing material set and the vacuum bottle with connecting tube are sterile and, as a disposable product, are not reusable. The patient is instructed in the drainage procedure by the doctor and can then carry out the drainage independently at home.
The drainage system must be connected to the catheter under sterile conditions. The fluid is drained regularly (daily or twice daily). As a rule, the catheter remains in place for the entire period. Only the external components are replaced.
