Biliary drains are flexible tubes placed through the skin into the abdomen to relieve blockages in the bile ducts, drain bile from the gallbladder, or support healing after bile duct injury. They help manage conditions like cholangitis, gallstones, or post-surgical strictures by maintaining drainage or splinting the duct while it recovers.
These devices are typically single-use and may come with disposable insertion tools. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on risk factors like placement method and intended duration of use. Always check local guidelines for compliance and supply requirements.
