Description

A size 26 chest tube is a flexible, sterile tube with an outer diameter of approximately 8.6 millimeters, used to drain air, fluid, or pus from the pleural space. It is commonly used in adults for conditions like pneumothorax, hemothorax, pleural effusion, and postoperative thoracic drainage. The tube is inserted through a small incision in the chest wall and connected to a drainage system, ensuring continuous removal of air or fluid to promote lung re-expansion. The size 26 chest tube offers effective drainage capacity while maintaining patient comfort, making it suitable for various thoracic medical needs.
