Thoracic Water-seal Manometer is a pleural drainage system which require a vacuum regulator or suction apparatus which provides a constant negative pressure when the chamber is filled with sterile water up to the minimum water level 30 mL and a water seal is establish. It should be suspended in vertical position from a vacuum source or suction collection systems.

The device acts as a widow into the patient’s pleural space which gives real-time negative pressure readings. It will bring about proper re-expansion of the lung since air and fluid will leave the pleural cavity during the exhalation phase of respiration, but the re-entry of air during inspiration is prevented by the water seal.

It is mainly used in the context of cardio-thoracic or tracheal suction but also in neonatalogy throughout the hospital from ER to recovery, ICU where need the low pressure contimuously.

Features/Benefits

• Minimum Flow Level for -20 cm water pressure.
• Clearly Defined Minimum Water Level Markings for greater convenience and water seal integrity.
• Equipped with Transparent Standpipes submerged in the bottle (typically to 20cmH2O) limits the minimum suction for precise negative pressure measurement.
• Fluid Fill Ports w/Self-sealing Membrane allows for repeated septum access by needle puncture through for reduce spillage and increased sterility.
• Operating Range Indicator verifies functional efficacy for indicating negative pressure of approximately.
• Connectors are provides for fixing to connecting tubings.
• Liner Lid Tubing Connection Port is provided with a barrier to reflux of atmospheric air into a patient's pleural cavity. provides reliable over-flow protection.
• Module Hanger can be easily mounted over the suction liner for continuous drainage.
• Sterile, for single-patient use only.
