  • Patent number: 10898697
    Abstract: A male insert for draining fluid from a patient is provided. The male insert includes a housing, a valve stem supported by the housing for pivotal movement about an axis from an extended position allowing insertion into the patient to a retracted position preventing re-insertion into the patient, a tube connected to the valve stem and supported by the housing for rotational movement about the axis, the tube and the valve stem forming a contiguous channel through which the fluid drains, a stop preventing rotational movement of the tube in a first position and allowing rotational movement of the tube in a second position, and a locking tab engaging one of the valve stem and the tube when the valve stem is in the retracted position.

  • Publication number: 20180021486
    Abstract: A surgical drain system for draining fluid from a patient is provided. The surgical drain system includes a tube for insertion into the patient through which the fluid drains. The tube extends into the patient and is connected to an adapter having first and second valves for controlling movement of the fluid through the adapter. An attachment includes an insert for opening the first and second valves when inserted into the adapter allowing the fluid to drain into the attachment when the insert is fully seated. A retraction mechanism may be incorporated preventing more than one use of the insert.
