Description

Wound drains are medical devices used to remove excess fluid or blood from a surgical site, promoting faster healing and preventing complications. The Channel Round Silicone Drain with Trocar, 19 Fr, 1/4", Full Fluted is a specialized type of wound drain designed for optimal drainage and ease of use. It features smooth, heat-polished perforations strategically placed in alternate 90-degree planes, allowing for effective exudate drainage, which is crucial for reducing the risk of infection and promoting proper wound closure.

The full fluted design enhances the drain's ability to evacuate fluids from the wound site, providing reliable and continuous drainage over an extended period. The material’s radiopaque properties enable easy visualization on X-rays, ensuring that the drain is positioned correctly and remains in place throughout the healing process.

An indicator dot located on the drain aids in quick and accurate placement, helping healthcare professionals avoid errors during insertion. The 19 Fr size and 1/4" dimensions make the drain versatile and effective for a range of surgical wounds. This design is particularly useful in abdominal, thoracic, and orthopedic surgeries, where fluid accumulation is common.
