Hemovac
Hemovac is a type of closed drainage system used in medical settings to remove excess fluid from surgical sites or wounds. It consists of a flexible tube connected to a collection reservoir, which creates suction to draw out fluid. This helps prevent complications such as infection and promotes healing.
The device is commonly used after surgeries, such as those involving orthopedic procedures or abdominal surgeries. Medical professionals monitor the amount and type of fluid collected to assess the healing process and determine if further intervention is needed. Proper care and maintenance of the Hemovac are essential for its effectiveness.
