drain, surgical

The Drain, surgical - An appliance that is inserted into a body cavity or a wound in order to release air or permit drainage of fluid. Drains range from simple soft rubber tubes that pass from a body cavity into a dressing to wide-bore tubes that connect to a collection bag or bottle. Suction drains are thin tubes containing many small holes to help collect fluid or air, which is then drawn into a vacuum bottle.
