Experiences With Automated Surgical Drainage in Cardiac Surgery
Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT03860363
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Thoraguard Surgical Drainage System in a
real-world clinical environment. It is believed that this system will offer functional and
clinical benefits over the current standard of care system for the removal of surgical fluids
following cardiac surgery. Observations, experiences, and outcomes in a single hospital
setting will be collected for the Thoraguard Surgical Drainage System.
