PleurX™ drainage set
PleurX™ drainage set
The PleurX™ vacuum bottle can be connected to the safety valve of a drainova® ArgentiC or PleurX™ catheter via the insertion pin on the connecting tube. The vacuum bottle is suitable for temporary, safe, quick and easy drainage of pleural effusions or ascites.
The vacuum in the plastic bottle is activated before drainage by piercing the membrane in the bottle top with an insertion pin. The dressing material set is required for sterile and clean implementation of temporary drainage and dressing changes.
Following a doctor’s prescription and instructions from ewimed Switzerland AG, the patient can also use the PleurX™ drainage set at home for temporary drainage of pleural effusions or ascites.
