ASEPT® Pleural Drainage System

ASEPT® Pleural Drainage System
The ASEPT® Pleural Drainage System includes all of the components which are required for a tunnelled insertion of the ASEPT® permanent drainage catheter using the Seldinger technique.

Benefits

Safety valve
The ASEPT® valve closes automatically, is easy to clean and connects the catheter with the drainageIn medicine drainage refers to the systematic withdrawal of increased or diseased fluids, gases and discharges to re-establish normal conditions bottle in an especially hygienic way. No end caps or fixations are required. The valve even works without play and safely after numerous connections have been made.

Improved quality of life
The direct symptoms, e.g. dyspnoea, already improve during the drainage. A spontaneous pleurodesis occurs within one month in 59% of the cases.1 Drainage using the ASEPT® system is almost painless, when compared with other forms of treatment, e.g. chemical pleurodesis.

Minimally invasive
The catheter is inserted in the pleural or peritoneal cavity by means of the Seldinger technique – this minimises the risk of internal organs being injured. The intervention which is carried out under a local anaesthetic can take place whether as an inpatient or as an outpatient.

Minimised dislocation risk
A polyester cuff is positioned in the tunnel subcutaneously, adheres and thereby minimises the dislocation risk.
