Accumulations of air, blood and secretions in the pleural cavity or mediastinum can severely impair pulmonary and cardiac function, which can then become life-threatening.
PRIMED® offers a wide range of thoracic drainage systems to prevent this from happening.
The systems are basically designed to prevent the backflow of suctioned air or fluid into the pleural cavity or mediastinum, making it possible to maintain or quickly restore the interpleural negative pressure needed for adequate lung expansion.
