Example of nonsuction drain.

This Penrose drain is made of f lexible, rubberized material that can be placed into wound during closure, or after incision and drainage of abscess, to prevent premature sealing of wound before blood or pus collections can drain to the surface. Draining material runs along and through the drain. In this example, a suture has been tied to the drain and it is ready for insertion into the wound. The needled end of the suture will be used to attach the drain to the wound edge to hold it in place.
