Redax Fluted Smart Drain – Progressive Solutions in Wound Drainage
36% of chest tubes clog or become completely occluded following surgery.[1] Occluded drains following any surgery can result in costly and time-consuming re-interventions for hospitals. Consequences of occlusion can lead to infection and other serious complications that are dangerous for both patients and hospitals.
The Redax Smart Drain is a unique fluted drain that is ideal for a variety of specialties and procedures. In addition to the four fluted channels, the Smart Drain features a direct, high-flow transition from the indwelling to the open bore. The transition therefore enhances flow performance and patency, mitigating clot formation.
Competitive fluted catheters have an indirect transition spanning a few inches (up to four times longer) compromising flow and a higher likelihood of thrombus formation, leading to tube occlusion.
Redax’s silicone extrusion technology allows them to dramatically reduce the size of the transition zone, all without internal lumen reduction.
All Smart Drains are constructed of high-quality silicone and are completely hubless, allowing for improved patient comfort.
The Redax Smart Drain is offered in both round and flat designs, with the option of standard or bendable trocars.
