This blog post will explore the Vide® chest drainage systems, a medical device used to treat collapsed lungs and fluid buildup in the chest cavity, also known as pleural effusion.
Vide® offers three main types of chest drainage systems, each catering to a wide range of patients with their availability in adult and paediatric sizes. The focus of the document seems to be on the user-friendly design, ease of use, and safety features of these systems.
Here’s a breakdown of the Vide® chest drainage systems:
- Water Seal Drainage: This traditional system uses a water chamber to regulate pressure and prevent air from entering the chest cavity.
- Dry Suction/Water Seal Drainage: This system combines a water seal with a low-pressure suction mechanism to aid drainage.
- Dry Seal Drainage: This most recent advancement eliminates the water chamber, utilising a one-way valve system to prevent air leaks.
Choosing the most suitable Vide® chest drainage system likely depends on specific medical needs and doctor recommendations. It’s important to remember that this blog post serves informational purposes only and consulting a medical professional for any questions regarding chest drainage systems or Vide® products in particular is always recommended.
