Summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate how well a novel surgical site drain tube clearing device works, and how easy it is for care staff to use.

Conditions

  • Surgical Drain
  • Abdominal Surgery Patients
  • Drains

Interventions

DEVICE

Surgical drain stripping device

We have developed a device to fully compress the surgical drain tubing without compromising the integrity of the tubing to clear the drain fluid/debris more effectively than the current standard of care.

OTHER

Standard of Care (Investigator Choice)

Current standard of care for surgical drain tube stripping involves running fingertips down the length of the tubing compressing the drain tubing to clear fluid/debris.
