title: A safe and effective disposable low pressure suction drain.
abstract: The physical and microbiological properties of a new disposable suction drainage system have been investigated under clinical and laboratory conditions. The system appears to have overcome the disadvantages associated with previous disposable and reusable low pressure suction drainage systems for use after surgical operation in that this system effectively prevents reflex and retrograde contamination.
