The drainage set is a medical device used to collect unwanted bodily fluids from patients. It consists of tubes, drainage bags and connectors.
The primary purpose of a drainage set is to reduce the risk of infection by allowing the body to dispose of bodily fluids more safely. There are a few different types of drainage sets available, including a free-flowing drainage tube, syringe drainage set, and self-contained drainage set.
Regardless of the type of drainage set used, all of them are designed to provide a sterile environment to ensure the safety and health of the patient. The use of a drainage set is simple and efficient, and provides the patient with a range of benefits. In addition to reducing the risk of infection, a drainage set can also provide rapid fluid collection, reduce the amount of time a patient must be anaesthetised, and minimize the pain associated with drainage procedures.
