ABSTRACT:
An integral penetrating surgical drain device is taught that is formed of a flexible tube having a first imperforated end section, a second perforated end section, and a penetrating element mounted to the first end section, whereby the drain device may be used to exit the drain tube from the body cavity and through the body wall and to complete connection to a suction drain unit, without the necessity of removal or attachment of other elements to the drain device.
A method of emplacing an integral penetrating surgical drain device having a penetrating element and an integral tubular member with the diameter of the penetrating element being no greater than the diameter of the tubular member, within a body cavity, is also taught comprising the steps of placing a surgical drain, having a first imperforated section and a second perforated section formed thereto with a hollow needle mounted to the first section, within a surgical opening of a body cavity; inserting the hollow needle with the first imperforated end section out through the body wall; closing the surgical opening; and inserting the hollow needle mounted to the imperforated section into a suction unit.
