Thoracic Drainage Catheter (Chest Tube) – Chest drain or tube thoracostomy is a flexible plastic tube that is inserted through the side of the chest into the pleural space. It is used to remove air (pneumothorax) or fluid (pleural effusion, blood, chyle), or pus (empyema) from the intrathoracic space. It is also known as a Bülau drain or an intercostal catheter.

Thoracic Drainage Catheters are most suitable for post operative drainage after cardio-thoracic and thoracic surgery.

Distal end is open with super smooth large eyes to maximise the drainage from the chest. Proximal end is fitted with specially designed tapered tongue to provide excellent forceps grip and non-traumatic insertion.

Catheters are marked at every 2 cm from the last Eye to ascertain the depth of placement.

Packed with matching size loose connector which facilitates easy connection to drainage system.

The product can be straight or curved to the right.
