ABSTRACT:
A drain kit is provided for use in draining postoperative accumulations of serous fluid in patients without requiring immobilization of the patient or additional surgery. The kit comprises a catheter for insertion of a flexible cannula into the body region of serous fluid accumulation. The cannula is coupled to one end of a flexible drain tube carrying a piercing element at its opposite end for insertion through the self-sealing cap of a vacuum bottle for continuous drawing of the serous fluid from the patient. The piercing element is carried by a fitting having enlarged folding wings to facilitate insertion of the piercing element by the patient into the vacuum bottle and replacement bottles as needed, and attachment of the piercing element and the vacuum bottle to the patient's body or clothing.
