ewimed Switzerland AG – partner for hospitals and clinics and specialist in medical drainage for pleural effusion or ascites
As a Swiss subsidiary of ewimed GmbH, Europe’s largest provider in the field of medical drainage, we support hospitals and clinics in the treatment of ascites or pleural effusion. If required, we are on site to advise on the implantation of a drainova® catheter or drainova® ArgentiC catheter and instruct the nursing staff on the wards in the use of our drainage systems.
It is important to us to support hospitals and clinics in the optimal treatment of patients with ascites or pleural effusion. Our product range for medical drainage extends from catheters to puncture solutions and the appropriate consumables for intermittent drainage in hospitals or clinics, patients at home or in nursing homes.
Patients in safe hands – the ewimed service and care concept
Drainage systems are a very good alternative to punctures for the treatment of pleural effusion or ascites, which are particularly painful for patients with recurrent effusion. In a minimally invasive operation, a tunneled permanent catheter is implanted to drain the pleural effusion or ascites. Following instruction from our product specialists, patients are then able to perform the drainage themselves or, if necessary, with the support of family members or nursing staff. Thanks to our solutions, the patient no longer has to go to the hospital or clinic for intermittent drainage, eliminating the need for repeated, painful, therapeutic punctures of the effusions.
Would you like to spend time with your family and friends? Do you want mobility and flexibility without the need for frequent hospital or clinic stays? Let us help you regain control of your everyday life.
