Hi Catfishjumping, is it an indwelling drain for ascites?? If so, my dad had one fitted. He said it was a painful procedure but once fitted it was comfortable. There were other issues with it tho but I will wait for you to confirm what your drain is before discussing further. With love xx

It's a catheter with a drain bag attached. Thanks

Hey Catfish what you are talking about is an Aspira catheter. Aspira being the manufacturers name. I have been told that it's a bit uncomfortable getting one fitted, however once fitted it is much more preferable to repeated pleural and abdominal drainage. The fitting involves making a small cut on your side or abdomen depending on placement ie: your needs.Once fitted you simply attach a drainage bag and squeeze a hand pump on the bag which drains the fluid from yourself. I hope this gives you some idea of what it is. I hate seeing you so poorly so keep on fighting. All my love and prayers. Ian x
