- Drain Reservoir: A disposable container that collects the drained fluids.
- Negative Pressure Pump: Creates the suction to draw fluids from the wound into the reservoir.
- Connecting Tubing: Connects the catheter to the reservoir and the pump.
- Dressing Drape: Covers the wound and catheter entry site to maintain a sterile environment.
Benefits:
