- Designed without a drain line for the sterile collection and containment of biohazardous fluids from surgical wounds or body cavities, it's a single-use, non-powered portable suction device that utilizes a pre-set vacuum to facilitate efficient fluid evacuation in hospitals, clinics, or home care settings
Uses
- Post-Surgical Drainage:
- Collecting excess fluids such as exudate from large surgical wound areas to prevent accumulation and promote recovery
- Fluid Aspiration:
- Removing or sampling body fluids from pleural or peritoneal cavities, often in patients with chronic effusions or ascites
- Critical Care Management:
- Monitoring and managing excessive fluid output in ICUs and emergency departments
- General Containment:
- Safely collecting biohazardous fluids for disposal or diagnostic purposes
Features
- Evacuated Suction:
- Features a pre-set vacuum (up to 26 inHg) for strong, continuous suction without the need for external power
- Shatterproof Design:
- Constructed from clear, medical-grade plastic that is lightweight and more durable than traditional glass containers
- Vacuum Indicator:
- Equipped with a green vacuum indicator on the plastic cap to provide a clear visual confirmation of the vacuum status
- Safe Access Ports:
- Includes a valved female Luer lock connection for secure, needle-free attachment to drainage lines or catheters
- Graduated Scale:
- The transparent bottle is scaled in 10mL increments to allow for precise measurement and assessment of fluid volume
- Sterile Field Ready:
- Individually packaged for use within a sterile field, ensuring a sterile fluid pathway
- Material Safety:
- Not made with DEHP, PVC, or natural rubber latex to prevent allergic reactions and chemical leaching
Benefits
- Improved Safety:
- The needle-free Luer lock system and shatter-resistant construction significantly reduce the risk of needlestick injuries and glass-related accidents
- Enhanced Patient Comfort:
- By efficiently removing excess fluid, it helps reduce the risk of infection and discomfort associated with fluid buildup
- Cost Efficiency:
- Lightweight plastic containers can potentially reduce hazardous waste disposal costs compared to heavier glass alternatives
- Flexible Connection:
- The "without drain line" design allows healthcare providers to choose the most appropriate connection based on the patient's specific clinical needs
- Clear Monitoring:
- The transparent bottle and 10mL graduations facilitate quick and accurate visual checks of fluid characteristics and volume by caregivers
