Wound drainage

Surgical wound drainage is a frequently used procedure aimed at incising an abscess to prevent further spread of infection. The drain removes purulent material and is removed once fluid secretion stops. The wound drainage process, including the use of drains, is crucial in preventing premature wound closure. Laparoscopy is also used for abscess drainage in the abdominal cavity. The quality of drains, the materials they are made from, and their features (such as the ability to trim drains to the surgeon's needs) affect the effectiveness of drainage and prevent the formation of abnormal tissue tunnels. The presence of an abscess cannot be underestimated due to the risk of serious complications. Abscesses can occur both in superficial tissues and within internal organs. Surgical drains also help prevent the formation of fistulas. Skamex offers a wide range of surgical drainage products, including low-pressure sets with various capacities and usage times, as well as gravity drainage sets. The decision to introduce a drain should be based on the patient's overall health and the type of planned procedure. An abscess is an expression of purulent inflammation, which can lead to serious complications. Incision and drainage procedures are designed to prevent the further spread of infection.
