About Us
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.
Key Features and Benefits
Precision Insertion: The sharp trocar tip facilitates smooth entry through skin, subcutaneous tissue, and intercostal muscles, reducing procedure time.
Flexible Drainage Catheter: Radiopaque markings enhance visualization; luminal design ensures continuous drainage under prescribed negative pressure.
One‑Way Valve & Secure Connection: Luer‑lock fittings and integrated check valves prevent backflow, maintaining an airtight seal and reducing infection risk.
Ergonomic Design: Lightweight handle and color‑coded hubs aid in quick identification of catheter size and improve operator comfort during bedside or radiology interventions.
Patient Comfort: Thinner catheter profiles and atraumatic trocar tips decrease procedural pain and lower the risk of post‑insertion complications.
Clinical Applications
Pneumothorax Management: Effective air removal restores normal intrathoracic pressure, alleviating respiratory distress.
Pleural Effusion Drainage: Drains malignant, parapneumonic, or transudative fluids to relieve dyspnea and improve lung expansion.
Hemothorax Resolution: Continuous evacuation of blood prevents clot retention and associated morbidity.
Empyema Treatment: Facilitates drainage of purulent collections, enhancing antibiotic penetration and accelerating recovery.
By adhering to these guidelines, clinicians can leverage a trocar‑based thoracic drainage catheter to deliver safe, efficient, and patient‑friendly thoracostomy care.
