Valved One-Step centesis catheters are designed with an integrated self-sealing valve to minimize the risk of air entering…
The Aspira Drainage System is a compassionate home treatment option for end-stage cancer patients with pleural effusions and malignant ascites. Aspira allows patients to manage their symptoms at home, eliminating the need for frequent hospital visits.
The Aspira Drainage Bag’s gravity-based design with siphon assist, produces a consistent pressure flow for minimized discomfort.
After connecting the drainage line to the catheter valve, one gentle squeeze of the bulb on the bag will initiate drainage. With the Aspira Drainage Bag there is no risk of accidentally discharging vacuum. Vacuum is activated with one squeeze of the manual pump.
Faster drainage flow rate with the Aspira Drainage Bag means more downtime for the patient.
The option of a drainage bag or drainage bottle allows you to use the best drainage method for your patients.
The Aspira Drainage Bag is designed to drain quickly without the use of high pressure. Low, consistent vacuum pressure is preferable to high vacuum pressure that may cause patient discomfort.
Simulated testing shows the Aspira Drainage Bag has a 68% higher average flow rate than the PleurX® Drainage system.1,2 Additionally, the Aspira Drainage Bag demonstrates consistent pressure and flow rate, unlike the PleurX Drainage System, which has a high initial vacuum that drops quickly.2
