Thoracic Catheter – Chest Drainage Catheter

A Thoracic Catheter is a sterile chest drainage catheter used to remove air, blood, pus, or fluid from the pleural cavity, helping restore normal lung expansion and respiratory function. It is an essential device in the management of conditions such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, pleural effusion, and empyema.

Designed for safe and effective pleural drainage, the catheter features a smooth, flexible body with multiple drainage eyes to ensure efficient fluid evacuation while minimizing tissue trauma. It is commonly used in emergency care, intensive care units, operating theatres, and surgical wards.
