ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a surgical drain fabric and surgical drain device for providing a channel of exit or discharge from a wound or wound cavity and, more specifically, a fabric in the form of a tape having finished longitudinal edges useful for drawing wound drainage out of a patient's body. Preferably, the fabric is knitted in the form of a tape comprised of conductive yarns and nonconductive yarns stitched in a single warp and single weft pattern so as to provide enhanced drainage characteristics. The yarns and knit stitch are chosen to minimize the danger of sluffing and linting and other disadvantages associated with previous surgical drain materials.
