Fluted drains offer enhanced comfort postoperatively both at rest, when coughing and at removal (Ref. 1, 2). Fluted drains are as safe and efficient as chest tubes and Portavac drains (Ref. 1, 2).

When used after mastectomy surgery fluted drains reduce the incidence of seroma formation (Ref 3). Furthermore they have successfully been used after gastric bypass surgery, where they have allowed for earlier diagnosis of postoperative complications (Ref 4). Our fluted silicone drains are easily integrated with Astra Tech wound drainage systems. The drain fluid can then always remain safely enclosed within the system, minimizing the risk of patient or staff contamination, even during emptying and reactivation.
For post-operative wound drainage. Well suited for use together with Astra Tech wound drainage system: Bellovac™, Exudrain™ and Abdovac™ (Note: Not Bellovac™ ABT).
