Description
The Cardinal Health Penrose Surgical Wound Drain measures 1″ wide by 18″ long and serves as a passive drainage device placed intraoperatively to allow wound exudate, blood, and other fluids to exit a surgical site by gravity or capillary action. Made from soft, flexible material, it conforms easily to the wound cavity and can be trimmed to the appropriate length intraoperatively. Penrose drains are a long-established choice in general and orthopaedic surgery for straightforward wound management.
