With the Prosthesis for Open Thoracic Drainage developed by P.Simon, mechanical cleaning of the pleural cavity is possible, combining the effectiveness of the open drainage with the esthetic of the classic pleural drainage without deforming the patient’s thoracic wall.

Registered in the Brazilian Ministry of Health under number: 10274080018


Features:

• Produced in medicinal silicon;
• Enables mechanical cleaning of the pleural cavity;
• Extremity that enables internal fixing in three points;
• Adjustable ring for external fixing, allowing for adaptation, depending on the thoracic thickness of each patient;
• Sterilized by ethylene oxide/gamma ray.

Differentials:

• Patent required;
• Simple dressing, adjustable, without fixing;
• Minimally invasive procedure with effectiveness of open thoracic drainage.
  
  

Advantages:

• Simplified procedure, similar to classic pleural drainage;
• Constant open drainage maintenance;
• Avoid incisions / extensive dissections;
• Prevents “mutilation” and / or large thoracic deformation;
• Procedure can be performed with local, regional or general anesthesia;
• Prevents extensive costal arch resections;
• After orientation, the family and or patient can continue with the proper dressing at home;
• Allows removal of the prosthesis in ambulatory regime.
