A surgical capillary wound drain is a sterile, hollow device used to facilitate the passive removal of fluids such as blood, lymph, or exudate from a surgical site. By preventing the accumulation of these fluids, the device helps reduce the risk of post-operative wound infections.
These devices are manufactured from radiopaque natural rubber latex and are intended for single-use only. Surgeons typically place these drains within a wound during an inpatient or outpatient procedure to ensure effective drainage before the site is closed.
