Heimlich valve

The Heimlich Valve is a small, one-way valve used in chest drainage systems to remove air or fluid from the pleural space while preventing backflow. It is commonly used in the management of Pneumothorax and other thoracic conditions requiring controlled drainage.

Designed for portability and ease of use, the Heimlich valve allows patients to remain mobile during treatment, making it especially useful in emergency care, outpatient management, and post-operative recovery.
