Abstract

A catheter (1) is provided for clearing surgical drains of solid and semi-solid material that collects in and obstructs the drains. The catheter (1) has a solids removal member (20) at its distal end. Preferably, the solids removal member is an inflatable balloon (21), a deployable umbrella member (22), a deployable spring, a slicer (24), or a fixed spring (25). The solids removal member (20) is effective to aid removal of collected solids from the surgical drain (4). An aspiration port is also provided at the distal end of the catheter (1) to remove or aspirate collected solids that are dislodged from the surgical drain (4) by the solids removal member (20). A method for using such a catheter is also provided.
