- Abstract
- Background: After surgery, the exudation at a surgical site can cause complications and infections. The exudation is periodically removed through a Jackson-Pratt (JP) drain while maintaining a negative pressure in the JP bulb. However, the JP drainage tube may be clogged due to blood clotting. Thus, the periodic management of the JP drain is essential. In particular, the postoperative management of the JP drain includes squeezing and stripping it. In this study, we proposed a JP drain auxiliary system that can perform automatic stripping to assist specialists and nurses. Methodology: The proposed system was designed based on pre-experimental measurements and operated as a gripping and rolling device. Experimental Results: Twenty experiments were performed, and an average stripping efficiency of 93.8% was obtained. Conclusions: Consequently, we think that the proposed auxiliary system can automatically contribute to increase working efficiency for specialists and nurses.
