Atrium 16400 Express Mini 500 Dry Seal Chest Drain

• Model: 16400 

The Atrium 16400 Express Mini 500 Dry Seal Chest Drain is a compact, single-use medical device designed to evacuate air and/or fluid from the pleural cavity or mediastinum, aiding in the re-expansion of the lung and restoration of normal breathing dynamics. This device is particularly suited for patients requiring up to 500 mL of drainage, such as those recovering from thoracic surgery or trauma. Its lightweight, ergonomic design facilitates patient mobility, promoting early ambulation and enhancing overall recovery.

Key features of the Express Mini 500 include an automatic pre-set suction regulator set at -20 cmH₂O, ensuring consistent and controlled suction pressure. The device incorporates both high negative and positive pressure relief valves to protect the patient from potential complications. Additionally, it features a dry-seal, one-way valve that prevents backflow, thereby reducing the risk of air re-entry into the pleural space. These design elements contribute to the device's safety and efficacy in managing pleural drainage.

The Atrium 16400 Express Mini 500 is intended for single-use in healthcare facility settings and is packaged in a sterile environment to maintain its integrity until use. Its transparent collection chamber allows for easy monitoring of drainage volume and air leaks. The device's design and functionality make it a reliable choice for clinicians seeking an effective solution for managing pleural drainage in ambulatory patients.
