Thoracic Drainage Catheter with Trocar
A thoracic drainage catheter with trocar is a specialized medical device engineered for the precise, minimally invasive evacuation of air, blood, or fluid from the pleural space. By combining a flexible, biocompatible catheter with a rigid trocar introducer, this system enables controlled penetration of chest wall layers and accurate placement under ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance. Ideal for managing pneumothorax, pleural effusion, hemothorax, and empyema, it promotes rapid decompression while minimizing tissue trauma and patient discomfort.
