ASPIRA drainage system: the ground services

In this useful services in the video, watching we explain how to use your care Aspira drainage system and drainage liquid, how to mend the catheter exit site and how to properly discard liquid and used items.We also provide answers to common questions.Aspira drainage system is a kind of tunnel catheter for a long time, for from the pleural effusion or peritoneal cavity drainage, to relieve symptoms associated with malignant pleural effusion or ascites.

ASPIRA: insert peritoneal catheter

Watch the Aspira peritoneal drainage catheter insertion process step by step instructions.

ASPIRA: use the insert tray

Merit Medical product manager Logan Clifford serve Aspira drainage system is inserted into the tray.He outlined the tray and its components are introduced, and what you can expect when using the product.

Features and benefits

A new kind of freedom

Aspira drainage system is a kind of compassionate treatment options, family is suitable for end-stage cancer patients with pleural effusion and malignant ascites.Aspira allow patients to manage their symptoms in the home, which do not need to frequently go to the hospital.

Patient comfort

With siphon aided design can produce consistent pressure based on the gravity flow, thereby reducing discomfort to a minimum.

Easy to use

After drainage tube is connected to the catheter valve, drainage gently squeezing can be started.Using Aspira drainage system, there won't be the risk of accidental release of vacuum.Through an extrusion to activate manual pump vacuum.

Drainage faster

Faster drainage velocity means that patients with longer time to rest.


During the drainage pressure more stable

Aspira drainage system designed for use in the case of without the use of high pressure quick drainage.Consistent with the low vacuum pressure is better than that of high vacuum pressure can lead to patient discomfort.

The placement of than PLEURX system has higher flexibility

Aspira drainage system has three methods of placement option (anterograde and retrograde and online), and a variety of suite options, designed to meet the needs of clients and patients, than PleurX the placement of drainage system to provide you with more flexibility.

Enhanced tunnel design

Aspira Tunneler - enhanced design

  • Forging and bending channels
  • Channel is 37% longer than PleurX of the channel, can be flexible4

With valve drainage device

With a strip type sheathed Aspira Vavled introduced
  • Peel type guiding sheath helps reduce placed fluid leakage and/or in the process of air suction4

Replaceable valve

Aspira replaceable valve
  • Without change the catheter replacement valves

With enhanced

Strengthen the tube core - Aspira preinstalled
  • Strengthen the catheter for insertion
  • With the provincial - Glide ™ coating tube needle, aimed at reducing the fluid leakage in the process of inserting
