DEVICE: PleuraFlow® System with FlowGlide (00856449006062)

A tube-like, non-bioabsorbable device designed to establish a channel for the removal of fluid or purulent material from a closed-wound or an infected area, typically used with a closed drainage system that applies a low negative pressure through the drain lumen. It is typically made of silicone and comes in various designs/sizes for a variety of surgical applications (e.g., orthopaedic, plastic/reconstructive, neurological, gynaecological, thoracic, cardiovascular, general surgery). It might include disposable devices dedicated to drain insertion/function (e.g., sharp trocar blade, connector), however it does not include any fluid collection bags/containers. This is a single-use device.

A tube designed to be inserted through an intercostal space and into the pleural cavity to establish a channel for the removal of fluid (pleural effusion, blood, chyle), air (pneumothorax), or pus (empyema) to permit full expansion of the lungs typically after surgery or chest trauma. It is typically used with a pleural drainage system that uses a low negative pressure through the drain lumen. Often referred to as a chest tube, it is typically made of silicone and is available in various designs, shapes, and sizes; it may include disposable devices dedicated to catheter introduction, however it does not include fluid collection bags/containers. This is a single-use device.

A tube designed to establish a channel for the removal of fluid or purulent material from the mediastinum (the central compartment of the thoracic cavity); it is not coated with an antimicrobial agent. It is typically used in conjunction with, or as a component of, a drainage system that uses a low negative pressure through the drain lumen. It is typically made of silicone, available in various designs, shapes, and sizes, and may include disposable devices dedicated to catheter introduction; it does not include any fluid collection bags/containers. This is a single-use device.
