The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which leads to COVID-19, has been demonstrated to remain viable in aerosol form and is transmitted by droplets. When air leaks into a chest drain bottle, it causes the fluid inside to bubble. Given the aerosolization that is likely to occur inside the drain bottle, which then escapes through the suction port or safety valve, this may be a potentially important mode of viral transmission. • Anti-viral and bacterial filter with high filtration capacity (> 99.999%) guarantees environment and Staff protection • Fully compatible with the drainage bag (Code 12019), provided in each UNICO kit • Create a safe closed system, combining the UNICO catheter with the drainage bag and the new thoracic protection filter
