Low pressure selection
The use of low-pressure drains has many advantages, such as:
- Efficient suction1
- Reduced blood loss2
- Better drainage collection3
- Earlier removal of drains4
- Less tissue aspiration5
In cases where too much pressure is applied, tissues and small vessels may be sucked into the drains, leading to excessive blood loss and increased patient discomfort. Mediplast's low-pressure sets provide effective drainage with fewer issues.6
