A Better Solution
The Pattersonpouch is designed specifically to meet the needs of both medical staff and patients. Unlike the common practice of pinning surgical drains to patients’ clothing, the Pattersonpouch keeps drain bulbs in place and out of the way.
Nurses and doctors find that the Pattersonpouch makes it easier to check patients’ drains when they are secured in the pouch’s pockets. This also ensures that the drains are not irritating the surgical site and prevents patient discomfort due to drain movement and pulling. Medical staff also like the Pattersonpouch because it is quick and convenient; pouches can be provided in the recovery room immediately after surgery.
Patients also appreciate the advantages of the Pattersonpouch design. Other products that work like vests or tank-tops may irritate surgical sites and cause pain and discomfort. They can also make it difficult to access drains to measure the contents, and unlike the Pattersonpouch, these products cannot be used in the shower.
Although there are other products on the market to make post-surgical drain care easier, we are confident that the Pattersonpouch is ‘A Better Solution’.
