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.

The chest drain is flexible plastic tubing is usually inserted into the chest wall into the chest cavity. It is used to remove air in the chest cavity that could make it hard for a patient to breath. In case of an injury, it can be used to remove out the blood that is bleeding inside. F it were an infection and thee is pus accumulation, it is also used. The chest drain is by another name known as thoracic catheter or tube thoracostomy.

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.

A blacke remove is consisted of a silicon based tube. Silicon is usually used because it inert and safe to use in the body. The silicon tube has perforations into which the liquids flow by capillarity I the rubber tubing for suction out. Unlike many other ways of draining the fluids, it is one that entirely relies on the difference pressure of the inside of the patient.

The medics also use the negative pressure wound therapy to remove the fluids in wounds. As the name therapy suggests, it normally is usually a long repetitive procedure that is used to treat patients with larger surgeries, trauma or non healing wounds. They employ the use of enclosed foam that is usually attached to a suction device to remove the bodily fluids. The therapy is effective for it seems to enhance quicker healing to wound for it avoids infection and allow cell granulation.

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.
