FEATURES & BENEFITS

Compassionate Treatment
The Aspira® Drainage System is a tunneled, long-term catheter used to drain accumulated fluid from the pleural or peritoneal cavity to relieve symptoms associated with malignant pleural effusion or malignant ascites. When compared to thoracentesis and paracentesis, the Aspira® Drainage System may allow patients to drain fluid and manage their symptoms without repeated trips to the hospital.

The Aspira Drainage System is simple to use and provides a compassionate treatment option for patients.

Ease of Use

• Stylet with Hydro-Glide® coating decreases leakage during insertion and helps stiffen catheter to facilitate insertion
• Less bulky and requires less storage space than other home drainage products
• 15.5 F Silicone Cuffed Catheter with attachable valve
• Catheter can be trimmed proximally or distally to facilitate placement

Simplicity

• Repairable catheter valve enables a patient with a damaged valve or catheter to retain the catheter and have it repaired rather than removed or replaced
• 1-Liter drainage bag is light weight and compact
• Low vacuum siphon activating pump makes it simple to initiate drainage and does not lose vacuum

Options

• Multiple kit configurations provide flexibility
