Cardinal Health 30414-100 - Penrose Drain 12" x 1", Sterile, Latex, Radiopaque, Surgical Wound Drain with Safety Pin, 100 EA/CS, 10 BX/CS

Product Overview

The Cardinal Health 30414-100 Penrose Drain is a sterile, flexible latex wound drain designed for passive fluid removal in post-surgical care. Measuring 12 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter, this Penrose drain uses gravity-assisted drainage to help evacuate blood, lymph, and other fluids from surgical sites, promoting healing and minimizing the risk of infection.

Constructed from radiopaque latex, it is easily visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to verify placement. The included safety pin ensures secure positioning and prevents the drain from migrating back into the wound. Ideal for general, orthopedic, gynecological, and abdominal procedures, this drain supports effective wound healing by maintaining a clear drainage path.
