Interventions
Surgical drain stripping device
We have developed a device to fully compress the surgical drain tubing without compromising the integrity of the tubing to clear the drain fluid/debris more effectively than the current standard of care.
Standard of Care (Investigator Choice)
Current standard of care for surgical drain tube stripping involves running fingertips down the length of the tubing compressing the drain tubing to clear fluid/debris.
