Redon Drain

A suction wound drainage system, such as a Redon drain. Its main features are:

Suction Reservoir:
The central element is a bellows-shaped reservoir (or bulb) that creates continuous suction to remove wound fluid.

Continuous Drainage:
The system ensures constant drainage of exudate and blood to prevent fluid accumulation and promote healing.

Sterility:
These systems are generally supplied sterile to minimize the risk of wound infection.

Materials:
Reservoirs can be made of PVC or silicone, and drains are often made of silicone for their biocompatibility and flexibility, minimizing tissue reactions.

Components:
The kit includes a reservoir, a drainage tube (sometimes with a trocar for insertion), and connectors.

Use:
It is used for postoperative drainage of surgical wounds to remove excess fluids and maintain an environment conducive to healing.
