Thopaz+ by Medela is specifically designed to provide optimal negative pressure for post-operative chest drainage therapy, as well as objective and reliable monitoring of patient status. Thopaz is the digital system used in numerous comparative studies after lung surgery, which resulted in a more positive patient experience and a shorter air leak duration, drainage duration and inpatient treatment length¹.
