Closed-wound drains are flexible, non-bioabsorbable tubes used to drain fluids or infected material from surgical sites where the wound is closed. They work with a closed drainage system to apply gentle suction, helping prevent complications like infection or fluid buildup in areas such as orthopedic, plastic, or thoracic surgeries.
These devices are typically single-use, made of materials like silicone, and come with optional insertion tools. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they’re generally classified based on risk factors like infection risk and surgical context—always check local requirements before use.
