An experimental pleural drainage device in hypertensive pneumothorax

The prototype was modeled from the free version of a 3D modeling application, printed on a 3D printer using ABS^® plastic material, and tested in a pleural drainage simulator.

Results

Pleural drainage in the simulator using the prototype was feasible and reproducible.

Conclusions

While the prototype is functional in the simulator, it requires improvement and refinement for use in humans.
