The SINAPI chest drain incorporates a mechanical (Scheffler) valve, allowing faster evacuation of liquids and air from the chest, makes patient management easier and supports early patient mobility.
Features
- Mechanical one-way valve drains efficiently, while preventing reflux to patient.
- Low valve opening pressure facilitates drainage.
- Observing liquid accumulation above the valve confirms resolved air-leak.
- No need for clamping reduces risk of tension pneumothorax.
- Reduced dead space due to valve position, improves drainage efficiency.
- The device can be lifted higher than the patient or placed horizontally.
- Post-insertion catheter position is confirmed by bulb that re-expands, after being depressed.
- A bulb that re-expands is also a visual indicator of pneumothorax.
- Nearing the end of treatment, a depressed bulb and fluid above the valve indicate a resolved air-leak and cessation of drainage.
- Visible red bellows confirms actual suction pressure applied.
- Hidden red bellows indicates no suction applied.
Drainage
- Measures small drainage volumes.
- Can be emptied into disposable bag or container.
- Lightweight and compact for easy mobilization.
- One device per catheter.
- Safely milk tube without generating excessive negative pressures.
- Needle free sampling port close to patient.
- Easy access port for pleurodesis.
The catheter is made of flexible radiopaque Polyamid with latex balloon and has an inside, removable steel mandrin for difficult vessel constitution. It has a soft tip to avoid vessel perforation.The balloon capacity is adapted to the corresponding lumen. The catheter sizes are colour-coded for easy identification and has marker rings at 10 cm intervals. The length of 40 cm is especially adequate for elimi- nation of thrombi out of cannula dialysis. The double lumen catheter with a length of 80 cm can be delivered in sizes 5 to 7 French. The catheter is distal open and has at proximal end a sideport with flexible line for balloon filling. The biliary catheter is used to remove biliary stones and ductal debries intraoperatively. The flush catheter (without balloon) is designed for irrigation after successful embolectomy, thrombectomy or bile-duct-operation.
SIZES: 2Fr, 3Fr, 4Fr, 5Fr, 6Fr, 7Fr, 8Fr.
The high flexibility of the nylon wire facilitates the passage of venous valves and minimizes the number of incisions. The smooth wire guarantees easy and atraumatic passage within the veins as well as quick and problem-free sheding of the stripped veins. Thus the extended varices can be quickly controlled for tributary venous vessels and these can be searched specifically and then ligated. One of the important features of the nylon wire is its high tensile strength. An broad handle ensures an effective and thus strength and time- saving stripping of veins. The handle may be set up at any end, distal or proximal, just before stripping. The disposable instrument is free of torsions and kinkings from prior operations. This warrantees atraumatic and time-saving application.
Anterograde and retrograde stripping
The special designed olives, which can be clipped on each wire end after wire-passage through the vein, enable a retrograde as well as an anterograde stripping, independent from distal or proximal access.
Four sizes in one instrument
The vein stripper may be provided with four various olives of 6, 9, 12, 15 mm diameter. Thus stripping varices of different sizes will be possible with one single instrument which means cost reducing.
