ABSTRACT:
A suction tube for removing fluid from a body cavity, viscus or wound. The tube has an elongate tubular section (22) with an exterior surface and an interior surface defining an internal longitudinal passageway (30). The tube has a proximal end portion designed to be connected to a suction source and a distal end portion designed to be inserted into a body cavity, viscus or wound. The tubular section (22) includes a plurality of radially extending, circumferentially spaced elongate portions (25) extending along the length of the tubular section. The portions (25) are configured and spaced so that a longitudinal external lumen (26) is provided between each pair of portions (25). A longitudinal entrance channel (32) couples each external lumen (26) with the region surrounding the tubular section. The channels (32) are configured to allow entry of fluids while substantially preventing entry of debris or living tissue from a body cavity, viscus, or wound. A plurality of spaced holes (28) extend transversely through the tubular body (22) coupling the region surrounding the tubular body with the internal longitudinal passageway (30), wherein each of the transverse holes (28) intersects more than one of the entrance channels (32) and lumens (26).
