Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Penrose drain?
A Penrose drain is a soft, flat length of tubing placed in a wound or surgical site to keep a drainage tract open so fluid can drain passively by capillary action and gravity. This category stocks latex-free silicone Penrose drains in several diameters and lengths, plus Penrose drain tubing.
Are latex-free surgical drains available?
Yes. The Cook Medical silicone Penrose drains stocked here are latex-free, for use in latex-sensitive patients and facilities. Latex Penrose drain tubing is also stocked where latex is permitted. Product listings indicate the material.
What sizes of Penrose drain are stocked?
Silicone Penrose drains are stocked in a range of diameters and lengths, for example 3/8 inch diameter and 8, 12 and 20 inch lengths, so the drain can be matched to the wound. Penrose drain tubing is stocked in box packs for cutting to length.
Can hospitals and surgery centers order surgical drains in bulk?
Yes. Penrose drains and tubing are stocked in each and box quantities for hospitals, surgery centers and licensed medical distributors, and are in-stock, high-turnover items suited to standing orders. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing.
