Chest Tubes size 18

Chest Tube Size 18 is a sterile thoracic catheter used to remove air or fluid from the pleural space. Slightly larger than the size 16, the 18 Fr tube allows for better drainage of fluids while still being suitable for pneumothorax management. It is inserted between the ribs and connected to a drainage system. The tube is firm enough to be guided into place but flexible enough to be safe. It is an essential item in emergency trauma packs and thoracic surgery units.
