PleurX Pleural Catheter Description
The PleurX Pleural Catheter consists of a fenestrated
silicone catheter with a valve mechanism and a
polyester cuff. A barium sulfate stripe runs the entire
length of the catheter. The valve is designed to
prevent the passage of air or fluid in either direction
unless it is accessed with the specifically matched
drainage line or vacuum bottles provided by
CareFusion.
