Jackson‑Pratt Drain

The Jackson‑Pratt Drain is a closed‑suction device used post‑operatively to remove fluids from surgical sites, helping to reduce swelling and prevent complications such as hematoma or seroma formation. It consists of a soft, flexible tube inserted into the wound area, connected to a compressible collection bulb that maintains gentle suction once compressed. Ideal for general surgery applications, this drain supports efficient fluid management and promotes healing.
