Description
The Aspen Fluted Channel Drains draw fluid away from the surgical site through a full fluted four-channel design built for exceptional flow rates. The fluted channels help limit tissue in-growth and the blockages that can force premature drain removal with standard drains. Soft, flat drain hubs add patient comfort, and the 10 mm flat fluted option provides six channels for optimal drainage compared with the industry standard four-channel design.
- Fluted Channel Design – The fluted channels help minimize tissue in-growth and the blockages that can cause premature drain removal with standard drains.
- Exceptional Flow Rates – Exceptional flow rates provide improved drainage, helping reduce the chance of seroma formation.
- Six-Channel Flat Option – The 10 mm flat fluted drain provides six channels for optimal drainage, compared with the industry standard four-channel design.
- Soft, Flat Hubs – Soft, flat drain hubs offer enhanced patient comfort while the drain is in place.
- Trocar Options – Configurations are available with or without sharp stainless steel trocars.
Fluted Drains Built for Advanced Drainage
The Aspen Fluted Channel Drains are designed to provide advanced drainage with increased patient comfort. Their fluted channel design moves fluid along the drain while helping to minimize the tissue in-growth that creates blockages in standard drains. Exceptional flow rates improve drainage performance and help reduce the chance of seroma formation at the site. The range covers round drains in 10, 15, and 19 FR with full fluted or 3/4 fluted channels, and the 10 mm flat fluted design provides six channels where the industry standard is four. Every configuration is sterile, intended for single use, supplied 10 per case, and not made with natural rubber latex.

Why Surgical Teams Choose Aspen Fluted Channel Drains
Blocked drains are the failure point of standard drainage, because tissue in-growth can force premature removal before drainage is finished. The fluted channel design answers that problem directly while keeping flow rates high through the full wear period. Soft, flat hubs keep the patient comfortable while the drain does its work.
- Fewer Blockage-Driven Removals – Fluted channels limit the in-growth that blocks standard drains, so drains stay in until drainage is complete.
- Six Channels Where Four Is Standard – The 10 mm flat fluted option provides six channels against the industry standard four, for optimal drainage in a flat profile.
- Seroma-Conscious Drainage – High flow through the channels improves drainage and helps reduce the chance of seroma formation.
