What Is a Wound? A wound drain is typically a plastic tube that provides a way for unnecessary body fluids or air to flow out of the body from a wound. The purpose of the drain is to remove fluid and/or blood from the area of surgery. This helps the healing process. One end of the wound drain is placed within the wound and the other end may be connected to a suction collection device. The fluid may be collected in a drainage bag, plastic bulb, plastic carton, or onto a dressing. http://www.icu-usa.com/tour/ equipment/wound_drain.htm What Types Of Surgeries Are Wound s Commonly Used In?

Bard has Channel drains, perforated silicone and PVC drains. These are typically attached to a suction device. This could be a bulb evacuator, a three-spring evacuator or wall suction. Common terms you may here are: n Bulb Evacuator n Grenade, JP n Three Spring Evacuator n Pancake To attach the drain to the evacuator you may need to use an adapter. Many of our drains are packaged with multiple adapters. Why? The different adapters typically allow you to connect to both Silicone and PVC evacuators Extra adapters may be provided to allow the user to connect multiple drains to an evacuator (example - double round drains) Basic Overview To determine if an adapter is needed, you will need to know some basic information.. What are the drain and evacuator made out of? 2. What is the size of the drain?. For PVC evacuators, what type of Y-Connector are you using? 4. Are you using a kit?

Are you Using a Kit? Many of our kits are customized for the type of drain and evacuator. The appropriate adapter may already be attached. In the case of the Reliavac evacuator, the kits may actually have a smaller Y- connector that is customized for the drain. In this case an adapter is not needed. If not, use the rules defined above.

Summary Silicone s to Silicone Evacuators Use the adapter with the silicone sleeve to connect it to the silicone bulb If no adapter with a silicone sleeve is included in the package, attach the drain directly to the silicone bulb Silicone s to PVC Evacuators Use the blue adapter that has no sleeve to connect to PVC type evacuators such as the Three spring evacuator/reliavac bulb and Reliavac Bottle evacuators PVC s to Silicone Evacuators Not recommended PVC s to PVC Evacuators For Three Spring Evacuators, attach the drain directly to the Y connector. No adapter is required For the Reliavac family of evacuators, an adapter is normally needed unless it is a customized kit. Indications for Use: BARD Channel s, round and flat silicone, are indicated for use with selected BARD evacuators for closed wound drainage following head and neck, orthopedic, abdominal, ENT, OB/GYN, plastic, neurosurgery, thoracic and cardiovascular (channel drains only) procedures Warnings: If an air-tight seal between the drain and the skin where the drain emerges is not achieved, the air leak must be rectified or the system must be converted to open drainage. An airtight seal between all system components (drain, adaptor and reservoir) is necessary for proper system function Evacuators should be emptied and re-activated when required per hospital protocol. Please consult product labels and inserts for any indications, contraindications, hazards, warnings, cautions and instructions for use.
