The Best Drain Tube After Surgery

By Carol Kennedy


Patents may have complications of bodily fluids accumulation when he gets from a theater. This calls for a drainage tube after surgery to drain off the fluids that may be blood, pus or other bodily fluids. They usually expelled by either suction of capillarity where the fluids flow by themselves. The drain tube after surgery facilitates the faster healing of wounds and protects the wounds from getting infected.

A Penrose is a surgical device that is usually placed in wounds to be able to remove the fluid to avoid infection by giving the bacteria a culture to grow in and also lead to quicker wound healing. It is consisted of rubber tubing and suction devices that allow one to offer the suction power into the wound. It was named after a famous gynecologist called Charles Bingham Penrose.

Intercostals remove or chest tube is specially designed to i the thoracic cavity. They are usually made of a rubber tubing that is quite rigid but flexible and a suction device. It normally is used to remove out air in a scenario one has an open wound on the chest cavity or is bleeding and the blood need be drained to avoid difficulties in breathing. The liquids can be blood, chyle or pus from infected internal organs.

The Jackson-Pratt consists of a perforated flat tube that is connected to a suction device. This device helps suck and collect the fluids for later disposal. The suction is generated by the suction ball that one compresses and releases. The pressure then creates a force that helps the liquids that could be blood, pus or plasma in any body part out.

The black remove is consisted of around silicon tube that has channels that can be able to collect the liquids. They are usually collected by capillarity action where the liquids trickle into the open channels freely. These tubes lead to other closed channels that help deliver the fluid by either the fluid pressure of suction.

Negative pressure wound therapy is also another tube remove method used in the treatment of surgical wounds that are very large, traumas or non healing wounds. They usually use enclosed foam and a suction device. This foam is placed on the wound and using the suction device they help remove excess fluid from the wound. It helps in faster cell and tissue granulation that promote faster wound healing.

The pigtail remove is also another way to remove the liquids from a wound or the internal body parts. The pigtail drain usually has a small rumen like curled shape that is formed by the rubber tubing. It is used to remove the fluids from a cavity. It uses the passive pressure where the flow is free without ant suction. The curved section usually keeps off any air from flowing back which can be dangerous and cause infections.

The redivac drain is a common remove but the difference is that it uses a high amount of negative pressure to drain the fluids. It is likely to be used in those parts of the body where is hard to suction any fluids or those areas that happen to be with thick and viscous fluids, like in lymph-suction to removal the fatty tissue in some ones body.
