Surgical Drains: An Informational Overview
Introduction
Surgical drains are medical devices used in surgical care to remove fluid, blood, or air that can accumulate in a wound or surgical site after an operation. They help prevent complications, support healing, and reduce pressure in the area where tissues have been operated on.
What Surgical Drains Do
After surgery, it is common for the body to release fluids as part of the healing process. If these fluids collect beneath the skin or within body cavities, they can increase the risk of infection, swelling, and discomfort. Surgical drains provide a controlled pathway for these substances to exit the body, helping maintain a clean and safe healing environment.
