Pleural drainage system (An assembly of sterile devices intended to be used for the aspiration of air/fluid from the pleural cavity (potential space between the serous membranes covering the lungs) by means of suction. It includes a pleural catheter, a water seal (underwater) drainage unit, typically with three separate chambers, and typically a suction system regulator, intended to be connected to the hospital's central vacuum system; it does not include pharmaceuticals. This system is usually used to restore normal lung function following chest or mediastinal surgery (e.g., open heart surgery), or to treat conditions such as pneumothorax and/or haemothorax. This is a single-use device.)
