Pleural drainage set OPTILINE®

2-chamber

OPTILINE® thoracic drainage systems are classic bottle systems for the application of the tried-and-tested drainage method with underwater seal. They are used to drain air, blood and secretions from the pleural and mediastinal cavities. Air, secretions or blood are drained off from the chest cavity by gravity drainage or via an external suction source. This system features a separate collecting bottle for liquids which is located upstream the water seal chamber bottle. This bottle collects the drained off liquids while the air from the chest cavity is led to the water seal chamber bottle. Thus, the water column in the water seal bottle can be kept on a constant level regardless of the amount of drained off liquid, and a continuously low resistance towards the pleural or mediastinal cavity is provided. The lip valve at the end of the riser pipe is an additional protection which prevents the return flow of liquids from the water seal chamber bottle, even during a temporary loss of the water seal (e.g. during recumbent patient transports). The valve is also a fistula indicator (leak indication). Benefits: Constant vacuum in patient without readjustment Drained off liquid is separately visible and measurable A lip valve at the water seal chamber prevents the return flow of liquids and is also a leak indicator Easy handling Transparent bottle design to enable optimal visual check Labeling strip to take down control data
