Hemovac

Hemovac consists of a flexible plastic reservoir and a narrow, transparent tube placed at the surgical site or wound. The reservoir is disc-shaped, and when compressed, it creates negative pressure, drawing blood and fluids from the wound into the reservoir. The transparent design of the reservoir allows for monitoring and measuring the volume and color of the secretions. It also features a secure cap to prevent fluid leakage and infection. Common needle sizes for Hemovac include 10, 12, 14, and 16.

Some Hemovacs come with specialized tubes, such as perforated ones, which enhance drainage efficiency and are particularly useful in areas with high secretion levels.

Hemovac helps reduce swelling and prevent infection at the wound site, facilitating faster and more complication-free healing. By using a Hemovac, the need for frequent dressing changes is minimized, ensuring greater comfort for the patient. This device is particularly beneficial in critical surgeries where fluid accumulation poses significant risks, such as orthopedic surgeries, plastic surgeries, and general surgeries.

Hemovac is a vital tool for managing and improving post-surgical wound care by preventing fluid buildup and reducing postoperative complications. It is available in various sizes and types to suit a wide range of surgical needs.
