ABSTRACT:
A drainage device includes a vessel having a plurality of sub-chambers one of which is a regulated drainage collection chamber, and two of which cooperate to maintain a selected suction level in the drainage collection chamber. A stopcock proximate to the vessel communicates directly with the two cooperating sub-chambers, and allows quick adjustment and stable operation in varying environments. A float ball arrangement provides an indication of water loss that may compromise the water seal. The device is suitable for wound drainage, and may be used as a cardiotomy reservoir or a thoracic cavity drain device. Different embodiments collect blood for autologous infusion.
