How does the non-locking braided drainage catheter become the key guarantee for postoperative drainage? ​

Date:2025-05-22

From the perspective of general surgical operations, abdominal surgery and breast surgery are common types of surgery, and postoperative fluid management is related to the patient's recovery process. Abdominal surgery involves a complex abdominal environment, with rich tissues around organs such as the intestines, liver, and gallbladder, and surgical trauma can easily cause a large amount of exudate. The non-locking braided drainage catheter can be quickly placed in the appropriate position of the abdominal cavity after surgery due to its special material and structure. The polymer material used has good biocompatibility and will not have a rejection reaction with the tissue in the abdominal cavity, avoiding inflammation caused by material discomfort. The unique braided structure increases the surface area of ​​the catheter, allowing the exudate in the abdominal cavity to flow into the catheter quickly and smoothly and be discharged from the body through the drainage device. In this way, the abdominal cavity is always kept clean, reducing the risk of infection caused by bacterial growth, providing a clean environment for the postoperative recovery of abdominal organs, and promoting wound healing. ​
Breast surgery also faces the problem of postoperative fluid management. Breast tissue is relatively special. Although the surgical incision is relatively small, it is easy to produce hematoma and exudate after surgery. If these fluids cannot be discharged in time, it will cause breast swelling and pain, affect wound healing, and may even cause infection, destroying the appearance and function of the breast. The flexibility of the pig tail catheter plays an advantage here. It can fit the physiological curve of the breast and be cleverly placed near the surgical wound. The drainage hole of the catheter is specially designed to accurately drain hematoma and exudate to prevent fluid accumulation in the breast. With the help of the catheter, the patient's breast swelling after surgery is significantly reduced, the pain is relieved, the wound heals smoothly, and the shape and function of the breast are protected to the greatest extent, improving the patient's quality of life after surgery. ​
In the field of orthopedic surgery, postoperative fluid management is equally important. Orthopedic surgeries such as fracture reduction and fixation surgery and joint replacement surgery not only have large wounds, but also produce a large amount of bleeding and exudate after damage to the muscles, blood vessels and other tissues around the bones. If these fluids accumulate around the wound, it will increase local pressure, hinder blood circulation, affect fracture healing and joint function recovery, and easily cause infection, leading to serious complications such as osteomyelitis. The non-locking braided drainage catheter plays a key role in orthopedic surgery with its good support and drainage performance. Its internal reinforcement material makes the catheter strong enough. Even when the patient is undergoing rehabilitation training or limb activities after surgery, it will not be twisted or deformed, and the drainage channel will always be kept unobstructed. By placing the catheter near the wound or in the joint cavity, the bleeding and exudate can be continuously and stably drained, local pressure can be reduced, blood circulation can be promoted, and favorable conditions for bone repair and joint function recovery can be created, helping patients recover as soon as possible. ​


Postoperative drainage in cardiothoracic surgery is more critical and is related to the life safety of patients. Heart surgery and lung surgery involve important organs of the human body, and the surgery is complicated and requires extremely high postoperative recovery. During heart surgery, blood will be produced in the heart incision. If it cannot be drained in time, blood accumulation may affect the normal beating of the heart and even cause life-threatening conditions such as pericardial tamponade. Lung surgery can cause a large amount of exudate in the chest cavity. If it accumulates too much, it will compress the lung tissue, affect respiratory function, and increase the risk of lung infection. The non-locking braided drainage catheter has become an important line of defense to protect the lives of patients in cardiothoracic surgery. Its good sealing and stability ensure that the catheter will not shift or fall off in the complex environment of heart beating and lung breathing movement, and always maintain effective drainage. By accurately placing it in the chest cavity or pericardial cavity, it can quickly drain blood and exudate out of the body, maintain normal heart function and smooth lung breathing, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, and provide strong protection for patients to survive the critical period after surgery. ​
The non-locking braided drainage catheter performs well in postoperative drainage, thanks to its scientific design and advanced manufacturing process. The selection of catheter materials has been strictly screened to ensure harmonious coexistence with human tissue and reduce adverse reactions. In terms of manufacturing process, every link from catheter molding to surface treatment is refined. Extrusion molding or injection molding technology ensures the precise shape and size of the catheter; the surface treatment process gives the catheter hydrophilic and antibacterial properties, making the catheter smoother when inserted into human tissue and reducing the risk of infection. The braided structure is even more unique. The braided structure made of multiple strands of materials not only enhances the strength of the catheter, but also improves the drainage efficiency, allowing the liquid to pass through the catheter evenly and quickly.​
In terms of postoperative care, the non-locking braided drainage catheter also has obvious advantages. Its operation is relatively simple, and medical staff can quickly complete the insertion, fixation and maintenance of the catheter without complex techniques and special tools. For patients, the good flexibility and compliance of the catheter prevents excessive pressure and friction in the body, reduces discomfort and pain, and improves patient comfort. Even if the patient needs to perform certain activities after surgery, the stability of the catheter can ensure its normal drainage, without the need for frequent adjustment or replacement, which reduces the pain and economic burden of patients and the nursing workload of medical staff. ​
During the entire recovery process of surgical operations, the non-locking braided drainage catheter guarantees the patient's postoperative recovery in many ways. It keeps the surgical site clean and reduces the risk of infection by timely and effectively draining various fluids produced after surgery; creates good conditions for surgical wound healing and promotes body tissue repair; in different surgical fields, according to the characteristics and needs of the operation, it plays a targeted role to protect organ function and maintain the stability of vital signs.
