"Minimised discomfort during drainage."
Catheter Design:
Easy occlusion management:
A replaceable valve allows for catheter repair, rather than catheter exchange.
Catheter Options:
The Aspira® Drainage Catheter is 72cm long. The catheter has a space of either 11cm or 15cm between the catheter cuff & proximal fenestration for tunnel track length flexibility.
Flow rates
Simulated testing shows the Aspira® siphon drainage bag:
- Has a 68% higher average flow rate than the PleurX Drainage system.1 2
- Demonstrates consistent pressure & flow rate, unlike the PleurX Drainage System, which has a high initial vacuum that drops quickly.2
Simulated average flow rate comparison1
- Aspira® siphon drainage bag - 7.46 ml/sec
- PleurX drainage system: 4.45 ml/sec
Siphon Drainage Bag:
Faster drainage
- Increased flow rate, shortens drainage procedure
Simple to use
- A gravity based design produces consistent pressure flow for minimised discomfort.
- A simple and easy-to-use design makes it an excellent choice for caregivers and patients.
Storage space:
Twenty Aspira® siphon drainage bags and dressings require approximately the same amount of space as one box of four PleurX Bottles and dressings, reducing storage space & waste.
Vacuum bottle
The Aspira® Drainage Bottle was designed to be easier to use than competing home drainage bottles. An alternative to drainage bags, the Aspira® Drainage Bottle has a number of innovative features that give patients control of their drainage, making it another effective solution for at-home care.
