Pleural drainage systems are plastic devices consisting of one or two chambers linked to a suction tube and connected to a pleural drain, used to eliminate blood, air, or purulent secretions from the pleural cavity. These devices are indicated for thoracic drainage in the pleural and mediastinal cavity in situations such as pneumothorax, after cardiac or thoracic surgery, thorax injury, pleural effusion, pleural empyema or other related conditions.
