Cardiothoracic surgery techniques along with the management of patients has significantly changed and improved over the past 30 years. More than ten years ago, chest drainage therapy was completely overhauled with the introduction of digital chest drainage systems. Medela has continuously proven to be the technology leader in this area.
*Monitoring of fluid drainage, air leak and pressure
Unlike analogue systems, Thopaz+ delivers regulated suction non-stop, from the OR until chest-tube removal. The system is battery-powered, lightweight and silent for chest drainage in all areas of the hospital so that restrictions and restraints due to wall vacuum are eliminated.1
Efficient cardiac drainage within the first 3 hours after surgery may accelerate chest drain removal, shorten ICU length of stay and reduce overall costs.2
By providing objective and reliable monitoring of patient status, inter-observer agreement is improved, offering medical staff a more accurate assessment when it comes to decision-making.3
Provision of efficient mediastinal and pleural drainage right after surgery, significantly reduces drainage-related complications.4

Disposable canisters
Available in 300ml, 800ml and 2-litre capacities to optimise drainage procedure and reduce the amount of biohazardous waste.
All three sizes are available with or without solidifier, providing a hygienic and cost-effective option for disposing of patient fluid disposal.
Tubing
The dual-lumen tubing provides continuous pressure monitoring close to the patient’s chest to provide early warning of potential harmful situations.
Two types of connectors are available (single or double) in small, medium or large sizes to match the chest tube being used.
All Thopaz+ tubing connectors contain a port for convenient sampling of drainage fluid.
Silastic tubing extensions
The extensions allow the current practice to be maintained. Therefore, if needed, tubing manipulation (e.g. milking) can be performed.
Easy handling: connect three catheters to one device.
Extra length allows for more flexible pump placement.
Docking Station
The docking station for Thopaz+ generally requires one-time set up, allowing the device to be recharged without the need to handle cables and an external power adapter. Can be equipped with adapter for the 2 l canister.
Holder with Standard Rail
For the easy attachment of Thopaz+ to rails, beds or IV poles. Can be fixed vertically or horizontally.
Universal Holder with Flexible Standard Rail
For the easy attachment of Thopaz+ to rails, beds or IV poles. Infinitely variable adjustment of rail inclination (360°).
Carrying strap
The carrying strap for Thopaz+ offers the patient convenience, comfort and full mobility
