Ongoing, symptom-relieving fluid drainage

We specialize in the safe and effective management of Pleurex  Catheters for residents with chronic pleural effusions or malignant ascites. These tunneled drainage catheters allow for ongoing, symptom-relieving fluid drainage from the chest or abdomen without the need for repeated hospital visits. Our nursing staff is trained in sterile drainage techniques, catheter site monitoring, and infection prevention. We provide patient and family education for home-based care, while also coordinating closely with the resident’s medical team to manage symptoms such as shortness of breath, pain, or abdominal discomfort, ensuring the highest level of comfort.
