Description
The Romsons Chest Drainage Catheter (GS-5010) is a sterile, medium-soft thoracic drainage tube designed for intercostal use. It is intended for post-operative drainage after cardio-thoracic surgeries, helping to remove air or fluid from the pleural space. The catheter's design facilitates the drainage of pneumothoraces or effusions, which can aid in improving lung function. It is supplied ready for use by medical professionals.
Medium-soft catheter material is selected for intercostal drainage procedures.
A dark green line is incorporated for X-ray detection, assisting in the confirmation of placement.
The distal end has large, smooth eyes to help maximize the drainage of fluid or air from the chest cavity.
The proximal end features a tapered tongue design to allow for a secure forceps grip and non-traumatic insertion.
Depth markings are provided every 2 cm from the last eye to help ascertain the depth of placement during insertion.
Each unit is packed with a spare connector to facilitate an easy connection to a drainage system.
The product is supplied sterile and double-packed in a peelable pouch to maintain hygiene.
