What does the surgical drain tube do

The surgical drain tube draws fluid from the body to the outside of the body. It can remove excess exudate and blood from the body.

During the operation, serious trauma will be caused to the organs and skin tissues, and purulent secretions, exudation and bloody secretions may occur around the organs. In this case, drainage tube must be used for treatment. The drainage tube can be implanted to help the toxins in the body to be discharged. It can also drain the exudate and blood from the body, which can help the wound recover as soon as possible and avoid serious infection symptoms around the surgical wound.

The time required for the surgical drain tube is also different. If it is a common operation, the trauma caused to the human body will be relatively large, and the drainage tube used after common surgical treatment will take a longer time. But if you do a minimally invasive surgery, the trauma effect is relatively small, and the time used for influenza is relatively short.

When using the drainage tube, pay close attention to whether the drainage tube is unobstructed. If it is not unobstructed, it may lead to poor drainage and can not be completely drained out. At the same time, it is also necessary to do a good job of hygiene and cleaning of the drainage tube site, timely local disinfection and anti-inflammatory, to avoid infection.
