Device Class
Class 1
Attributes
Therapeutic
Indications for Use
Post-operative passive drainage of serosanguineous fluids away from soft tissue operative site.
Device Story
Passive wound drain; silicone construction; flat design; internal diameter teeth to prevent collapse; radiopaque stripe for visualization. Used post-operatively in clinical settings to facilitate drainage of serosanguineous fluids from soft tissue sites. Operated by clinicians; device functions via gravity-assisted drainage. Sold sterile for single-patient use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed: Rabbit Pyrogen (non-pyrogenic), Hemolysis (non-hemolytic), Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay (non-mutagenic), Kligman Maximization (Grade I), USP Class VI (satisfied), Elution test (non-cytotoxic), and 90-day USP muscle implantation study in rabbits (met requirements).
Indicated for post-operative patients requiring passive drainage of serosanguineous fluids from soft tissue operative sites.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A nonpowered, single patient, portable suction apparatus is a device that consists of a manually operated plastic, disposable evacuation system intended to provide a vacuum for suction drainage of surgical wounds.

Penrose Drain
page 2
Sil-Med Corporation's Penrose Drain is dimensionally equivalent to the Davol Gravity Drain, except Davol offers both 12" and 18"; Sil-Med Corporation offers 18" only. Both have inner diameter teeth to prevent the drain from collapsing. Both devices have a Radiopaque stripe. Davol Gravity Drains are sold sterile and non sterile. Sil-Med Penrose Drains are sold sterile only. The intended use of both drains is equivalent.
