he PDK-19-75 PleuralPort™ Drainage Kit is a specialized veterinary set designed for removing fluid from the chest cavity of animals with an implanted PleuralPort™.
This specific product code refers to a Case of 5, meaning it contains five individually wrapped, sterile drainage kits.
Each Kit Includes:
- 19G x ¾” PosiGrip™ Needle: A specialized "non-coring" Huber needle that can safely puncture the port's silicone septum without damaging it. The PosiGrip handle provides a secure grip for easier insertion.
- Extension Set: A flexible tube attached to the needle, often featuring a clamp to control fluid flow.
- 3-Way Stopcock: A valve that allows the user to switch between drawing fluid out of the port and discharging it into a collection bag or basin without disconnecting the syringe.
- 60mL Syringe: A large-capacity syringe used for manual aspiration of pleural fluid.
- Vented/Bacteriostatic Filter: A 0.22-micron filter often included to prevent contamination during flushing or medication delivery.
