medical sump sucker

A Medical Sump Sucker, or sump drain, is a specialized suction catheter designed for efficient removal of fluids, blood, and debris from deep surgical sites or body cavities. Its key feature is a double-lumen design: a primary large lumen for active suction and a secondary smaller “vent” lumen that allows air to enter, preventing the catheter tip from adhering to and damaging delicate tissues like the bowel or organ surfaces. This makes it ideal for use in abdominal, thoracic, and orthopedic surgeries where continuous, atraumatic drainage is required to maintain a clear operative field.

Key Features:

• Double-lumen design: a large suction channel and a smaller air vent to prevent tissue occlusion.

• Prevents the tip from suctioning onto and damaging delicate tissues (bowel, pleura, etc.).

• Ideal for draining large volumes of fluid, blood, or irrigation from abdominal, pelvic, or chest cavities.

• Often features a radiopaque stripe for X-ray visibility and multiple distal eyes for efficient drainage.

• Essential for maintaining a clear surgical field and preventing post-operative fluid accumulation.

• A critical tool in general, trauma, and orthopedic surgery for safe, effective fluid evacuation.
