Taut® research has developed a non-latex elastomer for the Taut® capillary drain to improve wound drainage and special features to enhance control and safety. Taut® drains have been proven clinically by surgeons for more than 20 years.

Latex-Free Construction

• Completely latex free, unlike Penrose drains, eliminating the risk of a latex reaction

Flexibility

• Resists clot formation and does not stick to tissue as latex drains can, which helps prevent tissue erosion, promotes drainage around the site, and minimizes patient discomfort

Capillary Action

• Unique capillary design of the Taut® drains, which use internal longitudinal ribs to form small capillary passageways, enhances the flow of fluids and helps keep the drain from occluding

Inch Reference Marks

• Embossed inch markings eliminate the guesswork when advancing the drain

Taut® Safety Klip™

• Holds the drain securely in place outside the body, eases advancement, and prevents the drain from reverting into the wound

X-Ray Opaque

• Enables drain position to be easily verified
• White color allows more accurate identification of the composition of draining fluids
